Grisovin FP 250 mg Tablet

Grisovin FP 250 mg Tablet is an oral antifungal medicine containing 250 mg of griseofulvin in each tablet. It is used to treat certain fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails, especially ringworm infections. Grisovin FP 250 mg Tablet comes as a tablet made by GSK, India, and is supplied in a strip/box of 10 packs. It works best when taken exactly as prescribed, because fungal infections often need a full course of treatment.

How it works: Griseofulvin works by stopping fungal cells from multiplying, so the infection slowly clears as new healthy skin, hair, or nail grows in. Because Grisovin FP 250 mg Tablet is taken by mouth, the medicine is absorbed into the body and reaches the tissues where the fungus is growing.

Grisovin FP 250 mg Tablet is a 250 mg strength, which is useful when a doctor wants a flexible oral dose that can be adjusted based on age, body size, and the type of fungal infection. Since there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, this tablet represents the specific dose form available and is typically chosen for patients who can swallow tablets and need prescription-based antifungal therapy.

Each Grisovin FP 250 mg Tablet provides 250 mg of griseofulvin per tablet. The total daily dose may be taken once or divided into 2 doses, depending on the infection being treated and the patient’s age, weight, and response.
