Griseofulvin Tablets are antifungal medications that effectively inhibit fungal growth by interfering with fungal nucleic acid synthesis. They demonstrate significant antimicrobial effects against various dermatophytes, such as Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton.

3. Treatment of Dermatophytosis

Due to their potent antifungal effects, Griseofulvin Tablets are commonly used clinically to treat various fungal-induced dermatophytoses. These fungal infections include, but are not limited to, tinea capitis, tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea manus/pedis, and onychomycosis.

4. Inhibiting Bacteria and Reducing Inflammation

Griseofulvin Tablets also have certain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, inhibiting the growth and proliferation of multiple bacterial species and reducing the risk of skin infections. Additionally, Griseofulvin Tablets can alleviate skin inflammation and promote the repair and healing of damaged skin.

5. Symptom Relief

Griseofulvin Tablets can alleviate various discomfort symptoms caused by dermatophytosis, such as itching, redness, and pain. By inhibiting fungal growth and reproduction and reducing skin inflammation, they improve patients' skin conditions and quality of life.
