Sintesi

Mifepristone is a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist and can blunt the effect of corticosteroids. In patients on long-term corticosteroids this may precipitate adrenal insufficiency or loss of disease control, and labeling for the abortion indication lists chronic corticosteroid therapy as a contraindication.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Mifepristone and Prednisone 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.

Mifepristone belongs to Endocrine; Prednisone belongs to Endocrine.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Mifepristone antagonizes glucocorticoid receptors, opposing the effect of prednisone.

Cosa fare

Do not use mifepristone in patients on long-term corticosteroid therapy. If a patient needs both, an alternative strategy should be selected by a specialist, since usual steroid doses may be ineffective.
