Bleeding safety in relation to use of systemic fluconazole and topical azoles among patients with atrial fibrillation treated with apixaban, rivaroxaban, or dabigatran is insufficiently explored, despite clinical relevance and several reports suggesting associations. ⋯ In patients with atrial fibrillation on either apixaban, rivaroxaban, or dabigatran, an association between an elevated bleeding risk and use of systemic fluconazole was found among patients on apixaban. We found no increased risk of bleeding following co-exposure to topical azoles.
