Brief Answer: Yes you can take them... Detailed Answer: Hi, I read your query very carefully. Yes you can take the metronidazole and fluconazole less than a week from the procedure. Because the endoscopy isn't related to the medication you are taking. The only thing that you should keep in mind is don't eat dinner the nigh before procedure and drink plenty of water. Hope it was of help! Dr. KLerida
