Griseofulvin

Griseofulvin is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails. It works by disrupting the growth of fungi, preventing them from dividing and spreading. Typically prescribed for conditions like ringworm or toenail fungus, it is taken orally and may require several weeks of treatment. While effective, it can cause side effects such as headaches, nausea, and skin reactions. Griseofulvin is most suitable when topical treatments are insufficient, and it should be used under medical supervision to ensure safety and proper dosage.
