Three new comedications have been added to the interaction checker. Ciclesonide and flunisolone are listed in the steroid class and have a lower potential to cause corticosteroid-related systemic effects compared to some other inhaled corticosteroids. Red yeast rice is a herbal preparation and contains monacolin K, a natural component with the same chemical structure as lovastatin.
An update to the iChart app is available and the PDF files have been updated for the "Overview of Interactions" and the "Corticosteroid Treatment Selector" in the Prescribing Resources section of the website.
