HI
Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic for your health issues.
Fluconazole is used in non responders. However dosage schedule is different for different site of infection.
Vaginal - 150 mg single dose.
Oropharyngeal - 200 mg on first day f/b 100 mg / day for 2 weeks.
Cutaneous - 150 mg weekly for 4 weeks.
Systemic / meningeal - 200-400 mg / day for 4-12 weeks.
As this is prescription drug you should consult physician to get prescribed it.
Regards
Dr. Hiren
