So my dr. gave me an rx for one dose of diflucan- for what i have that is not yeast iknfection, but at least when this doesn't work, we can get to figuring out what my problem is or switching pills. Anyway, i know thois question was asked and i can't remember the answer, or find the post. Does the diflucan interfere with bcp's? it's a one dose 150mg pill.
Thanks

No, the diflucan shouldn't affect your BCP, but in case it is an infection, you should use backup to make sure you aren't passing anything back and forth.

well, this probably wont' help you, but my pharmacist told me diflucan CAN affect BCP effectiveness. I am pretty sure I had 150mg as well. It's probably for the best to just use a backup method until you start your next set of pills just to be safe.

you might want to call your doctor and ask them what they think too.
