What the FDA labels say about taking them together

Fluconazole and hydrochlorothiazide

Fluconazole's FDA label (Fluconazole) of April 2, 2026 names hydrochlorothiazide in its drug interactions section; the hydrochlorothiazide labels PlainMeds reads (3) do not name fluconazole. The fluconazole label: “Hydrochlorothiazide In a pharmacokinetic interaction study, coadministration of multiple-dose hydrochlorothiazide to healthy volunteers receiving fluconazole increased plasma concentrations of fluconazole by 40%.”

Check it at the source: the fluconazole FDA label on DailyMed (effective April 7, 2026, Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc.); the hydrochlorothiazide FDA label on DailyMed (effective June 12, 2026, Leading Pharma, LLC).
