Use with caution: - Systemic azole antifungals (e.g., fluconazole) as combined therapy may increase local drug concentration. - Hormonal contraceptives; although no direct interaction is known, monitor for any changes in efficacy. - Topical corticosteroids, which may mask irritation signs. - Herbal vaginal suppositories, which could affect the local environment.
