Griseofulvin

Griseofulvin is an oral antifungal medicine used to treat certain fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails. It works by stopping fungal cells from growing and spreading, helping your body clear the infection over time.

It is commonly used for ringworm infections such as tinea capitis, tinea corporis, tinea cruris, and tinea pedis. Griseofulvin should be taken exactly as prescribed and is not suitable for everyone, including people who are pregnant or have certain liver conditions.
