What is Grisovin FP (Griseofulvin) used for?

Grisovin FP (Griseofulvin) is an oral anti-fungal medicine used to treat fungal infections of the nails, skin, scalp, or mucous membranes. It operates by destroying or preventing the reproduction of fungus cells so that the immune system may destroy or control the infection. Your doctor may prescribe this medication to be used along with others or for the treatment of other unlisted conditions, as well.

How should I use Grisovin FP (Griseofulvin)?

Grisovin FP (Griseofulvin) should be used strictly according to your doctor`s instructions to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. One tablet is normally prescribed to be taken once or twice each day for a period of medication lasting one or two weeks, but your particular directions will be based on your age, weight, health condition, and the severity of your symptoms. These doses should be swallowed with a full glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a meal or snack is recommended prior to use if you experience nausea. Do not chew, split, or crush the tablets prior to use as this may destroy or change the effects of their contents. Never stop taking the medicine before being told to do so as the infection may not be gone and can return stronger or more resistant to treatment. Ask your pharmacist or doctor any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
