A member asked:

Can diflucan (fluconazole) interfere with birth control pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: I haven't not seen anything written re: Diflucan (fluconazole) causing the pill to be less effective, etc. As a matter of fact, the birth control pill does not lose effectiveness in the face of many antibiotics - much to the surprise of many ob/gyns.
