✅ Description:

Griseofulvin 500mg Tablet contains Griseofulvin, which falls under the category of anti-fungal drugs. It is prescribed for the treatment of fungal infections affecting the skin, scalp, hair, groin, feet, or nails, especially when topical treatments are either ineffective or unsuitable.

Fungal infections, also known as mycoses, are conditions where fungi invade and infect tissues, causing various symptoms and discomfort. Some fungal infections can be contagious, spreading from one person to another. Here are a few common fungal infections:

  • Ringworm: Ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin or scalp caused by different species of fungi. It's called "ringworm" because it often results in a circular or ring-shaped rash on the skin. Despite its name, it has nothing to do with worms. Ringworm is highly contagious and can be transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or by touching contaminated items.
  • Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris): Jock itch is a fungal infection that affects the skin in warm and moist areas of the body, such as the groin, buttocks, and inner thighs. It often causes an itchy, red rash and can be quite uncomfortable. Like other fungal infections, it can be spread through contact with infected skin or items like towels and clothing.
  • Athlete's Foot (Tinea Pedis): Athlete's foot is a common fungal infection that typically begins between the toes, especially in people who have sweaty feet and wear tight shoes. It can also spread to the soles and sides of the feet. The athlete's foot causes symptoms like itching, burning, and stinging due to a scaly rash. It's named "athlete's foot" because it's common among athletes who often wear sweaty footwear.

These fungal infections can be treated with antifungal medications, either topically or orally, depending on the severity and location of the infection. It's essential to maintain good hygiene and avoid sharing personal items like towels and shoes to prevent the spread of these infections. If you suspect you have a fungal infection, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.

✔️ Indication of Griseofulvin 500mg Tablet

Griseofulvin is primarily used to treat the following conditions:

  1. Tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp)
  2. Tinea corporis (ringworm of the body)
  3. Tinea pedis (athlete's foot)
  4. Tinea unguium (onychomycosis; ringworm of the nails)
  5. Tinea cruris (ringworm of the thigh)
  6. Tinea barbae (barber's itch)

Griseofulvin works by preventing the growth of fungi responsible for ringworm infections affecting the hair, skin, and nails. These fungi include various species such as Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton tonsurans, and Microsporum canis. It is essential to identify the specific fungus causing the infection before starting treatment, and griseofulvin is not necessary for minor infections treatable with topical antifungal medications.

✔️ Pharmacology

Griseofulvin is a fungistatic drug, and while its exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, it is believed to inhibit fungal cell division and the synthesis of nuclear acids. It also interferes with the function of cellular microtubules, specifically alpha and beta tubulin. Griseofulvin attaches to human keratin cells and then binds to fungal microtubules at the site of infection, disrupting the fungal cell division process.

✔️ Dosage & Administration of Griseofulvin 500mg Tablet

Accurate diagnosis of the infecting fungus is crucial. Diagnosis can be made through microscopic examination of infected tissue in a potassium hydroxide solution or by culturing the fungus on an appropriate medium. Medication should be continued until the infection is completely eradicated, as confirmed by clinical or laboratory assessments. Treatment durations vary depending on the type of infection.

For adults, a daily dose of 500 mg is usually effective for tinea corporis, tinea cruris, and tinea capitis. In more challenging cases like tinea pedis and tinea unguium, a daily dose of 1.0 gm is recommended. Children should receive approximately 5 mg per pound of body weight per day, with specific dosages based on weight.

It's important to take griseofulvin with food, preferably immediately after meals.

✔️ Interaction

Patients taking warfarin-type anticoagulants may require adjustments to their anticoagulant doses during and after griseofulvin therapy. Concurrent use of barbiturates can reduce the effectiveness of griseofulvin and may necessitate higher dosages.

✔️ Contraindications

Griseofulvin is not recommended for individuals with porphyria, hepatic failure, or a history of hypersensitivity to the drug. Pregnant women should not be prescribed griseofulvin, as it has been associated with instances of conjoined twins when used during the first trimester of pregnancy.

✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation

Griseofulvin is classified as Pregnancy Type C, indicating that either animal studies have shown adverse effects on the fetus, or there are no controlled studies in women. It should only be administered during pregnancy if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks to the fetus.

✔️ Precautions & Warnings

Patients on long-term griseofulvin treatment should undergo regular monitoring of organ system functions, including renal, hepatic, and hemopoietic functions. While there is a potential risk of cross-sensitivity with penicillin due to griseofulvin's origins, known penicillin-sensitive individuals have been successfully treated. Due to the occasional association of photosensitivity reactions with griseofulvin, patients should be advised to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, whether natural or artificial and lupus erythematosus may worsen if a photosensitivity reaction occurs.

✔️ Storage Conditions

Griseofulvin should be stored at temperatures between 15 and 30 degrees Celsius.
