What other drugs will affect Earx?
There may be other drugs that can interact with beclomethasone. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Earx interactions
Due to the very low plasma concentration achieved after inhaled dosing, clinically significant drug interactions are in general unlikely. Care should be taken when co-administering with known strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, ketoconazole, itraconazole, nelfinavir, ritonavir) as there is a potential for increased systemic exposure to Earx.
