GRESIFULWIN 

Griseofulvin is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails. Here's some information about it:

1. Mechanism of Action:

   • Griseofulvin works by binding to the fungal cell's microtubules, inhibiting mitosis and thus preventing fungal growth and replication.
   • It is fungistatic, meaning it stops the growth of fungi rather than killing them outright.

2. Indications:

   • Griseofulvin is primarily used to treat dermatophyte infections, including ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and fungal infections of the scalp (tinea capitis).
   • It is also indicated for the treatment of fungal infections of the nails (onychomycosis).
