What the FDA labels say
From the Fluconazole label · effective 2026-04-02
Effective contraceptive measures should be considered in women of child-bearing potential who are being treated with fluconazole 400 to 800 mg/day and should continue throughout the treatment period and for approximately 1 week (5 to 6 half-lives) after the final dose.
Oral contraceptives Two pharmacokinetic studies with a combined oral contraceptive have been performed using multiple doses of fluconazole.
Thus, multiple-dose use of fluconazole at these doses is unlikely to have an effect on the efficacy of the combined oral contraceptive.
