Brief Answer:
no need to wait

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

The two drugs you've mentioned do not interact with each other so there is no reason to withhold treatment. You coukd even take them together but since the duration of each treatment is so short (3 days and 1 day) you can take them separately (start the second after you finish the first).

Kind regards!
