Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucocorticoids can interact with a variety of drugs, but analgesics (pain relievers) generally have the least potential for adverse interactions with glucocorticoids compared to antacids (which can affect the stomach lining and how medications are absorbed), diuretics (which can affect electrolyte balance and increase the risk of hypokalemia), and oral antidiabetic agents (which can have their efficacy reduced by glucocorticoids, potentially leading to hyperglycemia).
