Can Marijuana Affect Of Antibiotics?

Hi doc, I have a question about interactions with marijuana and sopranos. I smoke marijuana because it relieves the pain of karpaltunnel and allows me to have more function with my hands during work and my everyday routines. I recently found a patch of discolouration on my shoulder that was whiter than my normal skin tone so a physician prescribed me some sporanox and I was wondering if I can still keep up with my normal routine of smoking marijuana with this medication or if it would affect the outcome of the antibiotic?

Doesn't interact much with the antibiotic. The antibiotic can interact with drugs taht change the way the liver metabolizes drugs but marijuana does only a small amount of an effect on this.
