Do you think i should take diflucan first day on bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim)?

Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Wait: Either for the last day or until symptoms appear. Diflucan (fluconazole) does not have much of a 'staying power, ' so would hate to take it too early and then need it again later.
