Summary

Corticosteroids can promote potassium loss, which may add to thiazide-induced hypokalemia. With inhaled mometasone, systemic exposure is low, so the effect is usually small and relevant mainly at high doses or in patients with other risk factors.

What this interaction means in plain words

Hydrochlorothiazide-lisinopril 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.

Evidence level: Low

Why it happens

Mineralocorticoid activity of corticosteroids increases renal potassium excretion, adding to thiazide effects.

What to do

No routine action is needed at standard doses; check potassium if high doses are used or other hypokalemic factors exist.
