Azmacort^® (triamcinolone inhaler) can potentially interact with one other medication, prednisone (Deltasone^®). Combining prednisone with Azmacort may increase the risk of side effects. Talk to your healthcare provider before taking these medications together, especially on a regular basis.

 

There are many other drug interactions with triamcinolone (the active ingredient of Azmacort). However, since Azmacort is inhaled directly into the lungs, blood levels of triamcinolone are usually low. Medications that would normally interact with injectable or oral triamcinolone are not likely to interact with Azmacort due to the low blood levels of triamcinolone. However, people taking a high Azmacort dosage may have higher levels of triamcinolone (and may be more susceptible to drug interactions). Therefore, you should talk with your pharmacist or healthcare provider about the specific drug interactions with Azmacort that may apply to your situation.
