Other medicines and MAXITROL Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.

Tell your doctor if you are using ritonavir or cobicistat, as this may increase the amount of dexamethasone in the blood.

Benzalkonium chloride may be absorbed by soft contact lenses and may change the colour of the contact lenses.
