Rifampin-induced nonresponsiveness of giant cell arteritis to prednisone treatment.
    Archives of internal medicine, 1994, Jul-11, Volume: 154, Issue:13

    Rifampin is an enzymatic inducer known to increase steroid metabolism. We studied two patients with giant cell arteritis in whom rifampin caused nonresponsiveness to prednisone treatment. A prednisone pharmacokinetics study was done. When rifampin-prednisone treatment must be used in giant cell arteritis, we propose increasing the prednisone dosage to 2 mg/kg per day.
