GRESIFULWIN 500

Description

Griseofulvin (500mg) GRESIFULWIN 500 GRESIFULWIN 500 is an oral antifungal medication containing Griseofulvin 500 mg, specifically designed for the treatment of fungal infections of the skin, hair, nails, and scalp. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like tinea corporis (ringworm), tinea cruris (jock itch), tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), and onychomycosis (fungal nail infections). Trusted for decades, Griseofulvin remains a reliable treatment when topical therapies are ineffective or when deeper tissue involvement is present. Key Ingredient Griseofulvin (500 mg): A fungistatic agent derived from Penicillium species that works by inhibiting fungal cell division, helping eliminate dermatophyte infections effectively. Key Benefits Effectively treats a wide range of dermatophyte (fungal) infections Suitable for skin, hair, and nail infections resistant to topical treatments Prevents recurrence by halting fungal spread and colonization Well-established safety profile for long-term use in chronic infections Helps relieve itching, redness, and scaling associated with fungal growth How Does It Work? Griseofulvin, the active component in GRESIFULWIN 500, works by binding to fungal microtubules, disrupting the mitotic spindle formation, and thereby inhibiting fungal cell division. It is deposited in keratin precursor cells, making newly formed keratin resistant to fungal invasion. This mode of action ensures that as the infected tissue is shed and replaced, the new skin, hair, or nails grow free of infection. Directions for Use Take GRESIFULWIN 500 exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is usually taken once or twice daily with a high-fat meal to enhance absorption. The duration of treatment depends on the site and severity of infection, ranging from 2 weeks to several months (especially for nail or scalp infections). Do not skip doses or discontinue early, even if symptoms improve. Maintain good hygiene and avoid reinfection sources like shared towels, shoes, or combs. Important: Always complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is fully resolved. Possible Side Effects While GRESIFULWIN 500 is generally well-tolerated, some users may experience: Headache Nausea or upset stomach Diarrhea Fatigue or dizziness Skin rash or photosensitivity (sensitivity to sunlight) Rare but serious effects include liver enzyme abnormalities or allergic reactions. Report any persistent or severe side effects to your healthcare provider immediately.
