Can Fluconazole Or Acyclovir Cause Kidney Issues?
Brief Answer:
yes but there is a small risk
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
it depends on what you mean by "safely". They are not supposed to interact if that's what you implied. Each of them could individually cause renal problems but the risk is not high. The dosage you're talking about it commonly used without problems though.
So the answer to your question is that these drugs can be given together and this is considered to be relatively safe but there is still a risk for renal problems as any of them may potentially hurt the kidneys.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
Kind Regards!
