Diflucan and OCs

A pharmacist recently sent me a note to find out if I "really wanted to prescribe Diflucan, 150mg" for a uncomplicated yeast infection on a patient on OCs. He sent me a drug interaction monograph that reported several pregnancies in patients on OCs. On reviewing it, all of the patients they discussed were on long-term Diflucan, not a single daily dose. Do any of you have concerns about Diflucan and OCs? I don't.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
