GRISEOFULVIN (Grifulvin(reg)V, Grisactin(reg), Gris-PEG(reg)) is an antifungal type of antibiotic.
It treats fungus infections, caused by tinea organisms, of the skin, hair, and nails. Griseofulvin is used for infections that do not go away when treated with antifungal skin products. Generic griseofulvin tablets and capsules are available.
What should my health care professional know before I take griseofulvin?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions: liver disease; on a low-fat diet; other chronic illness; porphyria; systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); an unusual or allergic reaction to griseofulvin, penicillin, other foods, dyes or preservatives; pregnant or trying to get pregnant; breast-feeding.
How should I take this medicine?
Take griseofulvin capsules or tablets by mouth. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Griseofulvin works best if you take it with high-fat food or milk. Take griseofulvin at regular intervals through the day and night. For example two doses a day means one dose every 12 hours; three doses a day means one dose every 8 hours. Do not take your medicine more often than directed. Finish the full course prescribed by your prescriber or health care professional even if you feel better. Do not stop taking except on your prescriber's advice.
Contact your pediatrician or health care professional regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.
What if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses.
What drug(s) may interact with griseofulvin? alcohol; barbiturate medicines for inducing sleep or treating seizures (convulsions); cyclosporine; female hormones, including contraceptive or birth control pills; primidone; warfarin.
Tell your prescriber or health care professional about all other medicines you are taking, including non-prescription medicines, nutritional supplements, or herbal products. Also tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are a frequent user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use illegal drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works. Check with your health care professional before stopping or starting any of your medicines.
What side effects may I notice from taking griseofulvin?
Side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible: dark yellow or brown urine; confusion; increased sensitivity to the sun or ultraviolet light; loss of appetite; mouth sores; skin rash, redness, blistering, or peeling of skin; sore throat, fever; tingling or numbness in the hands or feet; unusual weakness or tiredness; yellowing of the eyes or skin.
Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome): difficulty sleeping; dizziness; flatulence (gas), heartburn; headache; nausea, vomiting; stomach pain.
What should I watch for while taking griseofulvin?
Tell your prescriber or health care professional if your symptoms do not begin to improve in 1 to 2 weeks. Some fungal infections need many weeks or months of treatment to cure. Use your medicine regularly for as long as your prescriber or health care professional tells you to.
Oral contraceptives that contain estrogen may not work properly while you take griseofulvin. Use an additional method of birth control while you take griseofulvin and for one month afterwards.You may get drowsy or dizzy; until you know how griseofulvin affects you, do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness. Alcohol may make you more drowsy, and increase flushing and a rapid heartbeat. Avoid alcoholic drinks.
Keep out of the sun, or wear protective clothing and use a sunscreen. Do not use sun lamps or sun tanning beds or booths.
To help prevent reinfection, wear freshly washed cotton, not synthetic, clothing.After bathing make sure your skin is quite dry. Fungal infections like moist conditions. Do not walk about barefoot. You can use an antifungal powder once or twice a day.
Where can I keep my medicine?
Keep out of the reach of children in a container that small children cannot open.
Store at room temperature between 15 and 30 degrees C (59 and 86 degrees F). Keep container tightly closed. Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date. |
