Abstract
In this paper we report a case of iatrogenic Cushing syndrome due to a pharmacological interaction between fluticasone and cobicistat. Inhaled corticosteroids were previously thought to be safe, but increasing numbers of cases of iatrogenic Cushing syndrome are being reported, especially in patients taking cytochrome P450 inhibitors, including cobicistat. Although the drug interaction between cobicistat and fluticasone has been described elsewhere, to our knowledge we present one of the first descriptions of iatrogenic Cushing syndrome due to this pharmacological interaction.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
