Medical applications

The usual adult dosage varies depending on the severity and location of the infection but typically ranges from 500 mg to 1000 mg daily, divided into two doses, for a duration of 4 to 8 weeks or longer as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Common adverse effects may include headache, gastrointestinal discomfort, photosensitivity, and allergic reactions. Griskin 500 is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to Griseofulvin, severe liver impairment, or porphyria. Caution is advised during pregnancy and lactation.
