Good evening, following a yeast infection, I took the following medication tonight: 1 Riva Fluconazole 150 mg. I was told that in 3 days I should see an improvement in my symptoms.

When taking Fluconazole

Naji-tom Samaha · a year ago

Good morning, ma'am,

It is indeed recommended to avoid alcohol consumption with fluconazole. However, if it is a one-time medication and you do not have any risk factors (which you should confirm with your pharmacist), then the occasional drink of alcohol should not be a problem.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
