Monitor for potential adrenal dysfunction when voriconazole is administered with other corticosteroids [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ].

From the Ciclesonide (Alvesco) label · effective 2025-02-28
In a drug interaction study, co-administration of orally inhaled ciclesonide and oral ketoconazole, a potent inhibitor of cytochrome P450 3A4, increased the exposure (AUC) of des-ciclesonide by approximately 3.6-fold at steady state, while levels of ciclesonide remained unchanged.
When such an infection occurs, treat it with appropriate local or systemic (i.e., oral antifungal) therapy and discontinue ALVESCO.
