Is It Safe To Take Diltiazem Interact With Kenalog ?
Question: does Diltiazem interact with Kenalog ? I get injections of kenalog for my skin. I am going to start taking Diltiazem today.
Brief Answer:
No risk as such
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting on HCM.
From my clinical experience and knowledge, I dont think there is any possibility of interaction of Kenalog and Diltiazem and thus can be safely taken together.
One thing you must be aware of is that being a corticosteroid, Kenalog can actually increase your blood pressure and thus reduce the efficacy of Diltiazem in controlling blood pressure.
The above issue should be thoroughly be discusse with your physician.
Hope the information was useful to you.
Thank you
