Your doctor is right. The increased risk of cardiac arrhythmia is infrequent and usually not severe. And fluconazole is gone from your system after a couple of days, and it probably would not be harmful to skip fluoxetine (Prozac) for a day or two (but check with your doctor before doing so). If you remain concerned, you could replace fluconazole with one of the many vaginal azole treatments.
