Description
Griseofulvin 500 mg BP (British Pharmacopoeia) tablet is an oral antifungal medication primarily prescribed to treat fungal infections of the skin, scalp, and nails, such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, and jock itch. It works by stopping fungi from multiplying. [1, 2, 3]
Key Characteristics:
- Dosage: 500 mg is the standard adult daily dose for common infections like tinea corporis (body) and tinea capitis (scalp), though severe infections may require 1 g daily. [1]
- Formulation: Typically supplied as white or off-white, film-coated tablets. The BP designation ensures the tablet meets strict UK manufacturing and purity standards.
- Absorption: It is a fat-soluble medication; taking it with a fatty meal (e.g., whole milk, peanut butter) significantly increases its absorption into your bloodstream.
