“I suggest that high-dose fluconazole leads to increased levels of endogenous retinoids and that this factor may explain, at least in part, the reversible hair loss, dry skin, and dry lips associated with fluconazole.”
“ Fluconazole inhibited the NADPH-dependent cytochrome P450-mediated catabolism of trans-retinoic acid in a concentration-dependent manner.”
“Since fluconazole is a well-tolerated agent frequently administered to leukemia patients, its use in combination with trans-retinoic acid merits further consideration.”
