What is Griseofulvin?
Active Ingredients: Griseofulvin
Griseofulvin Tablets are used to treat fungal infections of the skin, scalp, fingernails, and toenails. It is effective against many types of dermatophytosis (ringworms), including ones caused by the Trichophyton or Microsporum fungi. It is typically used for infections that do not respond well to topical treatments.
Griseofulvin is an antifungal agent. It works by binding to tubulin, which interferes with mitosis. It also binds to keratin in keratin precursor cells, which builds fungal resistance.
