Griseofulvin 500 mg (Generic)

Griseofulvin 500 mg (Generic) is a prescription antifungal medicine that works by binding to fungal cells and preventing their growth and reproduction. It is commonly used to treat fungal infections affecting the skin (such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, and jock itch), scalp, hair, and nails.

This medication is taken orally, usually once daily or as directed by a healthcare provider, and works best when taken with a fatty meal to improve absorption. Griseofulvin 500 mg is typically prescribed for several weeks or months depending on the severity and site of infection, as fungal nail and scalp infections may take longer to clear.

Important Notes:

• Use only under medical supervision

• Not effective against yeast or bacterial infections
