Griseofulvin disrupts fungal cell division by interfering with microtubule formation, preventing fungal growth and reproduction. The medication accumulates in infected tissues, providing sustained antifungal activity.DosageInfection TypeStandard DosageTreatment DurationSkin Infections500mg once daily2-6 weeksNail Infections500mg once daily6-12 monthsTake Genevin with a high-fat meal to enhance absorption. Treatment duration varies from 4-12 weeks depending on infection site and severity.Duration of ActionGenevin begins working within days of starting treatment, though visible improvement may take 2-4 weeks. Hair and scalp infections typically clear within 4-6 weeks, while nail infections require 6-12 months of treatment. The medication remains active in tissues for weeks after discontinuation.Side EffectsCommon side effects include headache, nausea, diarrhea, and mild skin rash. Some patients experience dizziness, fatigue, or metallic taste. Less common effects include photosensitivity, liver enzyme elevation, or blood count changes. Most side effects are mild and resolve with continued treatment.WarningGenevin may cause liver toxicity requiring periodic liver function monitoring. This medication increases photosensitivity, making sunburn more likely. Avoid alcohol consumption during treatment as it may cause severe reactions. Genevin can interact with hormonal contraceptives, reducing their effectiveness.Pregnancy and BreastfeedingGenevin is contraindicated during pregnancy due to potential birth defects and embryotoxicity. Women of childbearing age should use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment and for one month after discontinuation.

Use sun protection and avoid excessive UV exposure due to increased photosensitivity. Patients with liver disease, lupus, or porphyria require careful monitoring. Complete the full treatment course even if symptoms improve to prevent recurrence.Important InformationGenevin requires long-term treatment for complete fungal eradication. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor progress and side effects. Maintain good hygiene practices to prevent reinfection. Store at room temperature away from light and moisture.
