Antimycotic treatment of oral candidiasis in warfarin users

Azole antimycotics and nystatin oral solution are used to treat oral candidiasis. Azoles inhibit cytochrome (CYP) P450-dependent metabolism of warfarin, which could increase the anticoagulant effect of warfarin. Nystatin is not expected to interfere with warfarin metabolism, but current data are conflicting. With this study, we aimed to explore the potential drug-drug interactions between warfarin and azole antimycotics used in the treatment of oral candidiasis, that is, systemic fluconazole, miconazole oral gel, and nystatin oral solution.
