We're you prescribed these meds before your surgery?

Hi guys.. My implant surgery is next week. I was prescribed Sulfamet-trim and Fluconazole for 3 days before the surgery. Were any of you guys prescribed these meds? Is it normal to take these meds days before surgery?

My surgeon gave me one dose of fluconazole (an antifungal) and started me on Cephalexin (a broad spectrum antibiotic) three days before the surgery. I continued the antibiotic for a week after the surgery, with a second dose of fluconazole 4 days after the surgery as well. I think every surgeon has their own protocol based on their own preferences and the pathogens most commonly responsible for surgical infections in their hospitals/clinics
