description Summary What is known and Objective:  Medline search disclosed 10 case reports of interactions between oral anticoagulants and miconazole oral gel, but none so far between nystatin solution and anticoagulants. We report on change in anticoagulant activity with use of different topical antifungal drugs, miconazole oral gel and vaginal suppositories, and nystatin solution. Methods:  We conducted a retrospective study that included 43 patients on stable anticoagulation before the introduction of topical antifungal drugs. Miconazole oral gel was prescribed for 32 patients, nystatin solution for eight patients and miconazole vaginal suppositories for three patients. Results and Discussion:  Nineteen (44·2%) of the patients reported bleeding complications and some of these were severe. Fifteen of 32 who used miconazole oral gel and four of 8 of those who used nystatin solution were affected. Before use of the antifungal drugs, the mean weekly warfarin dose in the nystatin group was 14·5 mg, and after antifungal drugs, 9 mg, P = 0·038, while the mean international normalized ratio (INR) before antifungal drugs was 2·5 (range 1·9–3·5) and afterwards it was 10·6 (range 4·5–19·3), P = 0·0001. In the miconazole oral gel group the mean weekly warfarin dose was 15·7 mg, and after 10·8 mg, P = 0·008, while the mean INR before antifungal drugs was 2·44 (range 1·92–3·18) and afterwards it was 8·8 (range 4·9–16·9), P
