When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Elevations in BUN and creatinine, as well as isolated cases of significant renal dysfunction or acute renal failure, have been reported in patients treated with micafungin. In controlled clinical trials, the incidence of drug-related renal adverse events was 0.4% for patients receiving micafungin and 0.5% for patients receiving fluconazole. Therapy with micafungin should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting renal impairment. Renal function should be monitored regularly during therapy.
