Troleandomycin and, to a lesser extent, clarithromycin and erythromycin can reduce the clearance of methylprednisolone, thereby increasing both its therapeutic and adverse effects. A patient receiving long-term clarithromycin developed Cushing s syndrome after starting treatment with inhaled budesonide. There appears to be no pharmacokinetic interaction between erythromycin and inhaled ciclesonide. Similarly, prednisolone appears not to be affected by macrolides, except possibly in those also taking enzyme-inducers such as phenobarbital. Isolated case reports describe the development of acute mania and psychosis in two patients, apparently due to an interaction between prednisone and clarithromycin. 

Troleandomydn. A study found that prednisolone clearance was not affected by troleandomydn in 3 patients, but was reduced by about 50% by troleandomycin in one patient who was also taking phenobarbital, which is an enzyme inducer. ... 

Prednisolone seems not to interact with troleandomycin and may be a non-interacting alternative, except possibly in those taking enzyme-inducers (e.g. phenobarbital). 

Ketoconazole can lead to reduced clearance of CS and a mild increase in levels (62,66,67). In addition, patients with significant liver or renal failure, age older than 65 years (68), or women receiving exogenous estrogen have increased unbound concentrations of prednisolone (69). Conversely, hyperthyroid patients have lower levels (70). There is one case report of an increased prothrombin time occurring in a patient on a stable dose of coumadin who subsequently received prednisone (71). This interaction seems rare and may be overshadowed by other drugs and events in the patient. Troleandomycin, a macrolide, has been shown to reduce clearance of methylprednisolone, but not prednisone (72).
