Specializes in Infectious Disease

Fluconazole: Fluconazole can be mixed with alcohol; no need to avoid drinking. And it will have no effect on birth control. (It's often said that antibiotics make low dose hormonal contraceptions ineffective. It's an urban myth: extremely rare if ever, with any antibiotic.
