Description
Griseofulvin 250mg BP (British Pharmacopoeia) tablet is an oral antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the skin, scalp, hair, and nails (like ringworm and athlete’s foot). It works by stopping fungi from multiplying and binding to keratin in tissues to prevent further infection. [1, 2, 3]
Key Details & Identification
- Physical Appearance: Typically a white to off-white, round tablet. It often has a beveled edge, a score on one side, and specific imprints (e.g., ‘I27’ for some generic forms). [1]
- Mechanism: It stops fungal cell division and becomes deposited in keratin-containing cells (skin, hair, and nails), making these tissues resistant to the fungus as they grow out. [1]
- Important Considerations: It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It may also decrease the effectiveness of oral contraceptives and interact with blood thinners like warfari
