Up to 10% of vaginal yeast infections are caused by Candida glabrata or other non-albicans types, which are resistant to all "azole" drugs. Speak with your doctor about alternates such as nystatin or caspofungin (or other drugs of the same type). For guaranteed expertise in this area, see a genitourinary medicine (GUM) specialist, or one of UK's many excellent NHS GUM clinics. Good luck.
