A member asked:

Is it okay to take diflucan (fluconazole) for a yeast infection while taking accutane?

Dr. Carla Enriquez answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Maybe: Although there are no listed interactions between the two drugs, they both can cause problems with liver, bone marrow and muscle. Both can be dangerous to embryos and developing fetuses. Short term use is certainly safer than chronic combined use.
