GRESIFULWIN 500 

Griseofulvin (500mg)

GRESIFULWIN 500 is a pharmaceutical product containing Griseofulvin (500 mg), an antifungal medication used primarily to treat fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails. Griseofulvin works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, thereby helping to eliminate the infection. Available in a 500mg dosage, GRESIFULWIN 500 is a potent treatment option for various dermatophyte infections. This article provides a comprehensive overview of GRESIFULWIN 500, including its uses, dosage, side effects, and other essential details.

How Does It Work?

Griseofulvin, the active ingredient in GRESIFULWIN 500, functions by disrupting the mitotic spindle structure of fungal cells. This action inhibits fungal cell division and replication, effectively stopping the spread of the infection. Griseofulvin also binds to keratin in human cells, making them resistant to fungal invasion. As the infected skin, hair, or nails grow out, they are replaced by healthy tissue, free from fungal infection.

Uses

GRESIFULWIN 500 is indicated for the treatment of a variety of fungal infections, particularly those caused by dermatophytes. These include:

1. Tinea Infections

Griseofulvin is effective in treating various forms of tinea, such as tinea corporis (ringworm of the body), tinea pedis (athlete's foot), tinea cruris (jock itch), and tinea capitis (scalp ringworm).

2. Onychomycosis

This medication is also used to treat fungal infections of the nails, known as onychomycosis. It helps to clear up the infection and promote the growth of healthy nails.

3. Other Dermatophyte Infections

GRESIFULWIN 500 can be used to treat other dermatophyte infections affecting different parts of the body, such as the beard area (tinea barbae) and the groin area (tinea cruris).

Dosage

The dosage of GRESIFULWIN 500 should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the type and severity of the infection. The typical dosage for adults is 500mg once daily or 250mg twice daily. For children, the dosage is usually based on body weight, typically around 10mg per kilogram of body weight per day.

Administration

• Oral Intake: GRESIFULWIN 500 is taken orally with or after meals to enhance absorption.
• Duration: The treatment duration varies depending on the infection. Skin infections may require 2-4 weeks of treatment, while infections of the scalp and nails may necessitate several months of therapy.

Side Effects

Like all medications, GRESIFULWIN 500 can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include:

1. Skin Reactions

Rashes, itching, and skin sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity) are possible. It is advisable to avoid excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen while taking this medication.

2. Neurological Effects

Headaches, dizziness, and fatigue are reported side effects. 

3. Allergic Reactions

In rare cases, severe allergic reactions, such as swelling, severe dizziness, and difficulty breathing, may occur. Immediate medical attention is necessary if these symptoms are observed.

2. Liver Function

Patients with liver impairment should use GRESIFULWIN 500 cautiously, as the medication is metabolized in the liver.

3. Drug Interactions

Griseofulvin can interact with other medications, including oral contraceptives, warfarin, and barbiturates.
