Product Overview
Grisoheal is an antifungal medication containing Griseofulvin as its active ingredient. Available in tablet, capsule, and oral suspension forms, it effectively treats dermatophyte fungal infections affecting the skin, hair, and nails. By inhibiting fungal growth and reproduction, Grisoheal alleviates symptoms and clears infections including ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch, and scalp/nail fungal infections.

– Ringworm (tinea corporis)
– Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis)
– Jock itch (tinea cruris)
– Scalp infections (tinea capitis)
– Nail infections (onychomycosis)
It effectively reduces itching, redness, scaling, and promotes healing of affected areas.
