Good morning. Currently taking metronidazole 2x500 . The treatment is to last 5 days. ( ailments after root canal treatment ) . My ear started to hurt. A few months ago I was prescribed floxal ear drops (1 drop for 10 days). Due to my trip to Norway, the ENT prescribed me an additional package of drops in case of ailments abroad. Can I start using them since I take metronidazole on the 4th day or do I have to wait until the metronidazole treatment is completed?

Today I called the doctor again to make sure to use the tablets and flucorta syrup at the same time. Doctor's recommendation: 7 tablets of flucorta 50 mg (1 tablet once a day) and syrup 10 ml, hold longer in the mouth and swallow. Also I do not know if this is a good count.

For @Karolina: Flucorta tablets and syrup contain the same drug - fluconazole, so I do not think that the doctor will recommend using them simultaneously. Treatment of oral mycosis with fluconazole can last from 7 to 21 days (depending on when the ringworm resolves). On the first day, a loading dose of 200 to 400 mg is usually administered (depending on the severity of the disease), and in subsequent days from 100 to 200 mg of fluconazole. The exact dosage should be selected by the doctor who conducted a detailed interview with you.
After metronidazole I got oral mycosis. White raid on the tongue and aphthous . I have flucorte 50 mg, 7 tablets. Due to the fact that I am behind the thunder I used teleadvice. The doctor also prescribed me flucorte syrup. I forgot to ask for how many days I should use the syrup and whether to start using it when taking flucorta tablets.

Floxal drops can be used during treatment with Metronidazole. Floxal has a local effect, therefore the risk of possible interactions of this drug with other preparations is negligible.
