Inhaled budesonide induced Cushing's syndrome in cystic fibrosis patients, due to drug inhibition of cytochrome P450.
    Journal of cystic fibrosis : official journal of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society, 2003, Volume: 2, Issue:2

    Two CF patients developed Cushing's syndrome during administration of inhaled budesonide (400 microg/d) with oral itraconazole in one and with clarithromycin in the other patient. Clinical features appeared respectively after 2 and 6 weeks of drug co-administration, with prolonged adrenal suppression, and a slow recovery after ceasing the drugs. Inhibitors of the cytochrome P450 interfere with the metabolism of corticosteroids. Combination of these drugs even with moderate doses of budesonide should be closely monitored.
