With simultaneous use of Hydrocortisone - Behvazan 1% increases the toxicity of cardiac glycosides (because of the emerging hypokalemia increases the risk of arrhythmias); with acetylsalicylic acid - accelerates its excretion and reduces its concentration in blood plasma (with the abolition of Hydrocortisone - Behvazan 1% concentration of salicylates in the blood increases, and increases the risk of side effects); with paracetamol - increased risk of hepatotoxic action of paracetamol (induction of hepatic enzymes and formation of a toxic metabolite of paracetamol); with cyclosporine - increased side effects of Hydrocortisone - Behvazan 1% as a result of inhibition of its metabolism; with ketoconazole - increased side effects of Hydrocortisone - Behvazan 1% as a result of reduction of its clearance.

Hydrocortisone - Behvazan 1% Micronised Xepa-Soul Pattinson reduces the effectiveness of hypoglycemic; intensifies the effect of indirect anticoagulants of coumarin derivatives.

Hydrocortisone - Behvazan 1% reduces the effect of vitamin D on the absorption of calcium ions into the lumen of the intestine. Ergocalciferol and parathyroid hormone hinder the development of osteopathy caused by GCS.

Hydrocortisone - Behvazan 1% Micronised Xepa-Soul Pattinson increases the metabolism of isoniazid, meksiletina (especially in "fast acetylators"), which leads to a decrease in their plasma concentrations; increases (with prolonged therapy) the content of folic acid reduces the concentration of praziquantel in blood.

Hydrocortisone - Behvazan 1% in high doses reduces the effect somatropina.

Hypokalemia caused by GCS, may increase the severity and duration of muscle blockade on the background of muscle relaxants.

Antacids reduce the absorption of the GCS.

At simultaneous application with SCS thiazides, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, other GCS, amphotericin B increase the risk of hypokalemia, drugs containing sodium ions - swelling and increase blood pressure.

NSAIDs and ethanol increases the risk of gastrointestinal ulcerations and bleeding, in combination with NSAIDs to treat arthritis may reduce the dose of GCS due to summation of therapeutic effect. Indomethacin displacing the SCS from its association with albumin, increases the risk of its side effects.

Amphotericin B and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors increase the risk of osteoporosis.

The therapeutic effect of GCS is reduced under the influence of inducers of microsomal liver enzymes (including phenytoin, barbiturates, ephedrine, theophylline, rifampin) due to increased rate of metabolism of these substances.

Inhibitors of the function of the adrenal cortex (including mitotan) may necessitate higher doses of GCS.

Clearance GCS increased against the background of preparations of thyroid hormones.

Immunosuppressants increase the risk of infection and lymphoma or other lymphoproliferative disorders associated with Epstein-Barr virus.

Estrogens (including oral contraceptives containing estrogen) reduce the clearance of GKS, lengthens T1/2 and their therapeutic and toxic effects. The appearance of hirsutism and acne promotes the simultaneous use of other steroid hormone funds - androgens, estrogens, anabolic steroids, oral contraceptives.

Tricyclic antidepressants may increase the severity of depression caused by GCS (not shown for the treatment of these side effects).

The risk of developing cataracts increases with the application against other GCS antipsychotic funds (neuroleptics), carbutamide and azathioprine. Simultaneous of Hydrocortisone - Behvazan 1% Micronised Xepa-Soul Pattinson with the appointment of m-cholinoblockers, as well as with means having m-anticholinergic action (including antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants), with nitrates improves the intraocular pressure.

With simultaneous application of SCS with live vaccines and antiviral compared to other types of immunization increases the risk of activation of viruses and development of infections.
