Posted on Sat, 3 May 2014

Question: I have a yeast infection I want to take diflucan but I also take trazadone for sleep can I take them safely?

Brief Answer: Sure. You may take them safely. Detailed Answer: Hi there. Yes you can take them both safely. Diflucan can be taken as a once weekly dose of 150 or 200 mg taken as a single dose with food. This can be repeated once/week over a period of 2 weeks for safe & effective results & need not cause any unnecessary adverse interactions with trazadone assuming the latter is taken at night. Good luck & Godspeed! Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD

I was unsure but I thought that diflucan was 200 mg once then 100 mg per day for a 2 week period for oropharengeal yeast it is in my nose and sinuses and my female parts I slept very well with 25 mg trazadone for the first time in a while last night this was my first dose Will I cause problems taking the diflucan on that above schedule or can you recommend a dose schedule for semi systemic yeast infection. Thank you for your help

Brief Answer: Go ahead with either dosage Detailed Answer: Hi there. You can go with either my earlier recommendation or the dosing schedule you have been recommended as per your convenience but trust this has been recommended on a prescription fill-out by a doctor near you. Either dosage will not interfere with your other medication. Good Luck & Godspeed. Dr Praveen
