Hello
I would be pleased to answer your question .

Fluconazole will not result in anything bad . Avoid taking any more tablets of the same .
There is no need to take tablet fluconazole for the dandruff. I would not recommend you to take it for here on.
Continue with the other medications and also apply a lotion called minoxidil 5% which you will get by prescription from your GP or Dermatologist .

Thanks and Take care
