Drug Information
5 reviews for Griseofulvin (Grifulvin V)
Grifulvin V contains Griseofulvin.
Griseofulvin is an antifungal medicine taken by mouth. It is used for fungal infections of the scalp, skin, hair and nails, especially ringworm of the scalp in children.
What is it used for?
- Ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitis)
- Ringworm of the body, groin or feet that does not clear with creams
- Some fungal nail infections
How does it work?
Griseofulvin builds up in new skin, hair and nail cells and stops fungi from dividing. As the old infected tissue is replaced, the infection clears.

- Do not take it if you are pregnant or have liver failure or porphyria.

Like all medicines, Grifulvin V can cause side effects, but not everybody gets them.
Common side effects
- Headache
- Upset stomach or diarrhoea
- Feeling tired or dizzy
- Rash or skin sensitive to sunlight
These are usually mild and often get better as your body gets used to it. Tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
Stop using it and get medical help straight away if you notice:
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes
- A severe rash with blisters or peeling skin
- Sore throat with fever, or unusual bruising
This is not a complete list. If you notice anything unusual, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Take it once a day, or split into two doses, as your doctor tells you.
- Take it with or after a fatty meal (such as one containing milk, cheese or meat). This helps your body absorb it.
- A common adult dose is 500 mg to 1 g a day.
- Treatment usually lasts several weeks to months. Keep taking it until your doctor tells you to stop.
If you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for your next dose. Never take two doses at once.
If you use too much: Contact your doctor, a poison control centre or your local emergency number straight away, even if you feel fine. Take the pack with you.
How to store it: Keep it in its original pack at room temperature (below 25°C / 77°F), away from heat, damp and direct sunlight. Do not use it after the expiry date.
- QWhy should I take Grifulvin V with fatty food?

- QHow long will I need Grifulvin V?
- A
Usually 4 to 8 weeks for scalp and skin, and much longer for nails.
- QCan I use Grifulvin V with the pill?
- A
