Oral griseofulvin ultramicrosize belongs to a class of anti-fungal
agents derived from a species of Penicillium. It is used to treat
certain fungal infections of the skin, hair and nails, such as
athlete's foot and ringworm. The use of griseofulvin is not justified
for localized or superficial infections that respond to topical
anti-fungal agents alone. It works by interfering with the fungi's
ability to reproduce.
You should be sure to take the full prescription as outlined
by your doctor. Do not miss a dose or discontinue taking your
antifungal prescription, even if your symptoms are gone. Antifungals
work over a period of time; discontinuing early may cause your
infection to reoccur. |
