Symbicort 160/4.5 interaction

Tags: drug interaction

I am currently on quinaprill, and atenolol chlorthal for HBP. My significant other is taking Symbicort 160/4.5. I have been told that the steroid in symbicort can be transmitted into my system through any exchange of "bodily fluids" and possibly have a bad reaction with my HBP meds...is this true?
thankyou!

I do not believe the steroid from the Symbicort will transmit to you through the exchange of "bodily fluids". If it is true then it would be very very minimal and would not interact with your blood pressure medications.
