Data were obtained from 250 consecutive patients who received treatment and\/or prophylaxis with fluconazole (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009191), liposomal amphotericin B (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009105), voriconazole (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200962), caspofungin (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200927) and\/or posaconazole (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200922). We performed detailed reviews of patient charts and laboratory values in close cooperation with treating physicians and nursing staff and participated regularly in ward and chart rounds. Potential drug interactions were assessed using the electronic database Micromedex\u00ae 1.0 (Healthcare Series).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In terms of adverse drug events, caspofungin (56%) and voriconazole (58%) revealed a slightly more favourable safety profile than liposomal amphotericin B (66%) and posaconazole (64%). We confirmed frequent nephrotoxic effects with the use of liposomal amphotericin B (20%). Regarding potential drug interactions, 97 (66%) of 147 evaluated patients were exposed to at least 1 of 22 different potentially interacting drug combinations involving systemic antifungal agents. Cyclosporine was the most prevalent potentially interacting drug in our cohort.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Systemic antifungal drugs are widely used in the haematology\/oncology setting and exhibit numerous potential drug interactions and adverse events in cancer patients. Our results highlight the challenges related to antifungal drugs and should valuably contribute to a safe and efficient application of this increasingly important class of drugs.
