Grisovin FP

Product Overview

Grisovin FP is an antifungal medication containing Griseofulvin as its active ingredient. This oral tablet formulation is specifically designed to treat fungal infections affecting the skin, hair, and nails, such as ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), and jock itch (tinea cruris). The medication works by preventing fungal growth, effectively stopping the progression and recurrence of infections.

Uses

This medication is prescribed for superficial fungal infections caused by dermatophytes. It effectively treats conditions characterized by itching, redness, and discomfort, including various forms of tinea infections. Grisovin FP specifically targets the fungal organisms responsible for these conditions, providing symptomatic relief and supporting the healing process.

How to Use

Take Grisovin FP exactly as directed by your healthcare professional. The tablets should be swallowed whole with water and not crushed or chewed. Complete the full prescribed course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before completion. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered, but never take a double dose to compensate for a missed one.

How it Works

The active component Griseofulvin interferes with fungal cell division by binding to fungal microtubules. This action prevents proper cell replication, ultimately leading to fungal cell death. As the fungal infection clears, symptoms like itching and inflammation subside, allowing affected skin, hair, or nails to recover.

Dosage and Administration

Dosage varies based on infection type and severity. Typically administered once daily with meals to optimize absorption. Treatment duration may extend from weeks to months, depending on infection response. Strict adherence to the prescribed regimen is crucial for effective treatment.

Benefits

Grisovin FP provides comprehensive treatment for multiple superficial fungal infections. By addressing the root cause of infection, it effectively reduces symptoms and promotes complete healing of affected areas. The oral formulation ensures systemic treatment of infections that may be difficult to treat topically.

Common Side Effects

Some users may experience mild gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), headaches, dizziness, fatigue, or skin reactions. These effects are typically transient, but persistent or severe symptoms should be reported to a healthcare provider.

Warnings

Exercise caution if you have pre-existing liver conditions, porphyria, or SLE. Potential drug interactions exist with oral contraceptives and anticoagulants – disclose all current medications to your prescriber. Alcohol consumption should be avoided during treatment due to increased risk of hepatic complications.

Storage Information
