You can take diflucan if you took famotidine more than 12 hours ago

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

Diflucan and famotidine might have adverse effects on the heart rhythm if taken together and this happens in a few people. It is best to avoid both these medications together.

If you took famotidine yesterday and it was more than 12 hours ago then the chances of any adverse event are less. However please check with your doctors if you have any heart rhythm conditions.

Regards and thanks

I was also prescribed macrobid and I took Valium 24 hours ago. Is the macrobid ok also with the diflucan?
