What the FDA labels say about taking them together
Fluconazole and nifedipine
Fluconazole's FDA label (Fluconazole) of April 2, 2026 names nifedipine in its drug interactions section, and nifedipine's label names fluconazole too. The nifedipine label: “CYP3A inhibitors such as fluconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, erythromycin, nefazodone, fluoxetine, saquinavir, indinavir, and nelfinavir may result in increased exposure to nifedipine when co-administered.”
