Hi,

Because diflucan usually starts to work within one day, hence it should be taken on the first day of starting penicillin and another dose of diflucan every seven days until you finish the course of penicillin.

Since you are currently on day-2 of the penicillin you can start taking first dose of diflucan and its second dose may be taken on day-7 of penicillin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
