Résumé

Systemic corticosteroids such as cortisone raise blood glucose and can offset the glucose-lowering effect of acarbose. Patients with diabetes may experience worsened glycemic control, particularly with prolonged or higher-dose corticosteroid courses.

Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples

Acarbose and Cortisone can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.

Niveau de preuve: High

Pourquoi elle survient

Corticosteroids increase hepatic gluconeogenesis and cause peripheral insulin resistance, opposing the antihyperglycemic action of acarbose.

Conduite à tenir

Monitor blood glucose more frequently when starting, increasing or stopping cortisone, and adjust the antidiabetic regimen as needed. Reduce doses again when the corticosteroid is tapered to avoid hypoglycemia.
