Cautions with other medicines
Some medicines and fluconazole can affect each other.
Tell your doctor if you're taking any of these medicines before you start taking fluconazole:
- pimozide, quetiapine, amisulpride, haloperidol, lithium or risperidone – used to treat some kinds of mental health conditions
- escitalopram or venlafaxine – used for treating depression
- erythromycin or clarithromycin – antibiotics
- ergotamine – used for migraine or headaches
- amiodarone – used for heart problems
- warfarin, dabigatran or clopidogrel – medicines used to help prevent blood clots
- carbamazepine – for epilepsy and nerve pain
- losartan – for high blood pressure and heart failure
- statins – for high cholesterol
These are not all the medicines that can affect fluconazole. For a full list, see the leaflet inside your medicines packet.
Mixing fluconazole with herbal remedies and supplements
There's not enough information to say that complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with fluconazole. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.
Important: Medicine safety
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
