Griseofulvin

Griseofulvin is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the skin, nails, and hair. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, allowing the body’s immune system to fight the infection more effectively. Griseofulvin is commonly prescribed for conditions such as tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), tinea corporis (ringworm), and tinea capitis (scalp ringworm). It may also be used for fungal nail infections, although these may take longer to resolve. Griseofulvin is typically taken orally, usually once or twice daily, and may require several weeks of treatment to achieve optimal results. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of therapy to ensure the most effective treatment outcome.
