How do corticosteroids interact with other medications, including immunosuppressants or NSAIDs and what are the potential risks of these combinations?
1. Corticosteroids can enhance the effects of immunosuppressants, increasing infection risk, while reducing NSAID effectiveness, raising stomach ulcer chances.
2. Combining corticosteroids with NSAIDs can heighten gastrointestinal side effects. With immunosuppressants, it may lead to a greater suppression of immune response.
