My hubby is currently on an herbal Babesia treatment ramping up to Mepron/Zith.
However, he also takes a small dose Diflucan daily (and has for years)for another medical condition.
Anyone know of interactions between these that we should watch out for??

There shouldn't be any reactions between the two drugs but I would be worried with having to stay on diflucan any longer than a month....

My LLMD told me NOT to take zith on the same day I take diflucan.

I just started on mepron/zith and I've been on once a week diflucan to help with yeast issues for the entire time I've been on antibiotics.
Do I need to stop taking it while on zith? And do I need to be worried about being on diflucan for so long?

My doc had me on zithromax and mepron, with a dyflucan once a week if needed.
I am not aware of any interaction between these drugs, but I have heard not to take them at the same TIME of day to be most effective.
Also, the thing my doc worries about most with dyflucan is it can be hard on the liver, so make sure he has liver enzyme tests.
For those taking dyflucan for other yeast issues, there are other choices in drugs that are effective, but easier on the liver.

I've been on Diflucan, Nystatin, Malarone, Zithromax and Rifampin for the past 110 days. No side effects other than herxing and orage pee.

I don't know about the Mepron but my LLMD has me taking Zith 250mg a day and Diflucan 100mg every three days. I take it right along with the Zith.

Hi. I've been on the mepron/biaxin combo for four months now.
I am also doing the diflucan protocol for Lyme.
I take 200mg of diflucan daily for 60 days. Off two weeks, then repeat.
I am in the middle of my 3rd 60 day run.
So far, so good. No problems with liver enzymes, etc. thus far.
So....It has been fine for me.
I should add that I have a positive history of hepatitis and pancreatitis.
