Get Grifulvin Online

Grifulvin (griseofulvin) is indicated for dermatophyte infections caused by Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton species. This includes ringworm of the body (tinea corporis), scalp (tinea capitis), feet (tinea pedis), groin (tinea cruris), and fungal nail infections (onychomycosis). It is not effective against yeast infections caused by Candida.

Treatment duration depends on the site of infection. Skin infections typically require 2 to 6 weeks of therapy. Scalp infections may take 4 to 6 weeks. Nail infections can require 4 to 6 months for fingernails and up to 12 months or longer for toenails, as the drug must be incorporated into new nail growth to be effective.

Yes. Griseofulvin is better absorbed when taken with a high-fat meal. Taking it with foods such as whole milk, peanut butter, or a fatty meal can significantly increase how much of the drug your body absorbs, improving its effectiveness.

Griseofulvin can interact with several medications. It may reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, so an additional form of birth control is recommended during treatment. It can also decrease the effectiveness of warfarin, requiring closer monitoring of blood clotting levels. Barbiturates can reduce griseofulvin absorption. Alcohol should be avoided as it may cause a flushing reaction.

Grifulvin is contraindicated during pregnancy. Animal studies have shown potential for teratogenic effects. Patients who could become pregnant should use effective contraception both during treatment and for one month after completing the course. Men should also avoid fathering a child during and for six months after treatment.

Common side effects include headache, skin rash or hives, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity). Headaches are especially common early in treatment and often lessen over time. Rare but serious effects include liver toxicity and low white blood cell count. Contact your provider if you develop yellowing of the skin, unusual bruising, or signs of infection.
