Beta-Phos/AC and Alcohol/Food Interactions
There are 2 alcohol/food/lifestyle interactions with Beta-Phos/AC (betamethasone).
Betamethasone High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility
corticosteroids - fluid retention
Corticosteroids may cause hypernatremia, hypokalemia, fluid retention, and elevation in blood pressure. Large doses of any corticosteroid can demonstrate these effects, particularly if given for longer periods. Therapy with corticosteroids should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting fluid retention, hypertension, congestive heart failure, and/or renal dysfunction. Dietary sodium restriction and potassium supplementation may be advisable.
Betamethasone High Cholesterol (Hyperlipoproteinemia, Hypertriglyceridemia, Sitosterolemia)
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility
corticosteroids - hyperlipidemia
Corticosteroids may elevate serum triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels if used for longer than brief periods. Patients with preexisting hyperlipidemia may require closer monitoring during prolonged corticosteroid therapy, and adjustments made accordingly in their lipid-lowering regimen.
