Summary
Systemic corticosteroids increase urinary potassium loss and may add to chlorthalidone-related hypokalemia. With inhaled mometasone systemic absorption is low, so the effect is generally small except at high doses.
What this interaction means in plain words
Azilsartan-chlorthalidone and Mometasone inhaled have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Why it happens
Mineralocorticoid activity of corticosteroids adds to diuretic-induced renal potassium wasting, though systemic exposure from inhalation is low.
What to do
No routine action is needed for standard inhaled doses. Check serum potassium if high doses are used or other potassium-lowering drugs are co-prescribed.
