Cordran Tape Drug Interactions
When using Cordran Tape, drug interactions, although rare, may be a concern. For example, combining this product with aldesleukin or corticorelin could decrease the effectiveness of these medications. Before starting treatment with Cordran Tape, tell your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, including nonprescription and herbal products.
Cordran® Tape (flurandrenolide tape) is unlikely to interfere with other medications. However, there are a few possible drug interactions worth noting. Some of the drugs that may interact with Cordran Tape:
- Aldesleukin (Proleukin®)
- Corticorelin (Acthrel®).
The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative reactions that can occur when Cordran Tape is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
Aldesleukin
Corticosteroids, including Cordran Tape, may make aldesleukin (a chemotherapy medication) less effective. In general, these medications should not be used together.
Corticorelin
Corticosteroids, including Cordran Tape, may make corticorelin less effective. Corticorelin is used as a diagnostic agent in tests for Cushing's syndrome or other similar problems. If you are being tested for Cushing's disease, make sure your healthcare provider knows you have been using Cordran Tape.
It is possible that not all drug interactions with Cordran Tape were discussed in this article. Therefore, you should talk with your pharmacist or healthcare provider about any specific interactions that may apply to you.
