In reply to Marplan and Steriod interaction? Need advice, Ed?, posted by Tom Twilight on September 10, 2005, at 18:24:42
Hi Tom,
>Is Beclometasone dipropionate a Glucocorticoid?
Yes, it's similar to dexamethasone.
>Beconase. Could it interact?
Possibly, but the dose is low and very little is absorbed into the blood from the nasal spray. An interaction seems unlikely.
Interaction or not, it seems like you'll need a higher dose of Marplan. I think you said you were on 40mg. Will you increase to 50mg next then 60mg if necessary?
If you're concerned, you could always try a non-steroid medication for your rhinitis.
What are your main symptoms and which meds have you tried so far? .......apart from Beconase.
