Can Applying Anti Fungal Powder On Mucus Membrane Cause High INR Readings?

I have been on Coumadin for 15 years and have had some issues with high readings lately. The only change I can determine since that started is applying anti-fungal micronazole nitrate (2%) powder. I have read gel on mucus membranes have been shown to cause higher INR readings. Would the powder do the same? Thank you, Greg Leaman
