Grisovin (active ingredient: griseofulvin) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Dermatophyte Infections: Grisovin is used to treat fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails caused by dermatophytes, such as ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), and jock itch (tinea cruris).
  2. Tinea Infections: It is also indicated for the treatment of tinea infections not limited to dermatophytes, including tinea capitis and tinea unguium (nail infections).

Grisovin belongs to a class of drugs known as antifungal agents, which work by disrupting fungal cell division and inhibiting the growth of fungi.

Grisovin is a tablet that should be taken orally as directed by your doctor. To ensure optimal absorption, take it with or after a meal that contains a moderate amount of fat. If you are following a low-fat diet, be sure to speak with your doctor or pharmacist about specific dietary instructions.

Although your symptoms may get better in a few days, you will have to take griseofulvin for a long time before the infection is completely gone. The length of treatment will depend on the type of infection you have and can range from several weeks to months. Nail infections may require several months to a year or longer to treat.

It is usually taken for 2 to 4 weeks for skin infections, 4 to 6 weeks for hair and scalp infections, 4 to 8 weeks for foot infections, 3 to 4 months for fingernail infections, and at least 6 months for toenail infections. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take griseofulvin exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

For antifungal medication to be most effective, maintain a constant level of medication in your body. To achieve this, take Grisovin at evenly spaced intervals. Also, continue taking the medication for the full length of the prescribed treatment even if you start to feel better after a few days. Stopping the medication too early could result in a relapse of the infection as the fungus may continue to grow.
