Grisovin FP

Grisovin FP (Griseofulvin) is an anti-fungal used to treat fungal infections in your fingernails, toenails, hair, and skin. It may be used alone or in conjunction with other medications.

How much you take and how often you take it will depend upon the strength of the Grisovin FP (Griseofulvin) and your condition. Take strictly as directed by your physician usually with a high fat meal such as a glass of whole cream milk to help it absorb quickly into your body. Tell your physician if you are on a low fat diet. Do not alter your dose or suddenly stop taking it without consulting your physician, even if you are feeling better.

If you do, your symptoms may get worse and increase the onset of unwanted side effects. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never take a double dose to make up for the one you missed.

As with all medications, Grisovin FP (Griseofulvin) has the potential to cause side effects in some patients. Common side effects include headaches, dizziness, unusual tiredness, stomach pains, vomiting, nausea, sleeplessness, and diarrhea. If these symptoms worsen or persist, contact your physician promptly.

Rare side effects include jaundice, weakness, numbness, pain, or tingling in your feet or hands, a sore throat, and fever. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your physician immediately or seek emergency medical treatment.

Tell your physician if you have allergies to any other medications, dyes, food, preservatives, or any other substances, if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breastfeeding, and what other prescription, non-prescription, or herbal and dietary supplements you are taking.

Tobacco, certain foods, and alcohol may interact with Grisovin FP (Griseofulvin), so always discuss with your physician your use of these substances while taking this medication.
