Mifepristone blocks the glucocorticoid receptor, so it counteracts hydrocortisone and can precipitate adrenal insufficiency in patients on long-term corticosteroid replacement or treatment. Loss of steroid effect may cause hypotension and hypoglycaemia.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Hydrocortisone and Mifepristone are not normally used together. Taking them at the same time is expected to cause harm or make one of them unsafe, so a different medicine is usually chosen for one of the two.

Hydrocortisone belongs to Endocrine; Mifepristone belongs to Endocrine.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Glucocorticoid receptor antagonism opposes hydrocortisone effect
