Q: i am taking antibiotics for 10 days and i took a diflucan the first day with my antibiotics. do i take my second pill at the end to prevent a yeast infection or in 7 days?

: It really shouldn’t make too much difference if you take the Diflucan dose at day 7 or 10 but I would advise taking it at the end of the antibiotic course and then monitoring for symptoms of a yeast infection. If symptoms develop, then call your doctor for treatment. Good luck to you!
