What the FDA labels say about taking them together

Fluconazole and vinblastine

Fluconazole's FDA label (Fluconazole) of April 2, 2026 names vinblastine in its drug interactions section; the vinblastine label PlainMeds reads does not name fluconazole. The fluconazole label: “Vinca alkaloids Although not studied, fluconazole may increase the plasma levels of the vinca alkaloids and lead to neurotoxicity, which is possibly due to an inhibitory effect on CYP3A4.”

Check it at the source: the fluconazole FDA label on DailyMed (effective April 7, 2026, Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc.); the vinblastine FDA label on DailyMed (effective April 15, 2025, Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC).
