Description
Griseofulvin Tablets
Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of classic dermatological antifungals. We provide high-bioavailability Griseofulvin Tablets (Micronized), sourced from WHO–GMP certified solid dosage facilities. This “Keratin-Binding” specialist is a top export to dermatology clinics, pediatric wards, and government school health programs in Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, serving as the gold standard for treating deep-seated fungal infections of the scalp (Tinea Capitis) and nails (Onychomycosis) where topical creams fail.
Product Overview
This formulation contains Griseofulvin, a fungistatic antibiotic derived from Penicillium griseofulvum.
The “Inside-Out” Cure:
- Mechanism (Mitotic Arrest): Griseofulvin enters fungal cells and disrupts the mitotic spindle structure, effectively stopping the fungus from dividing (cell division).
- Keratin Affinity (Unique Feature): Unlike other antifungals that circulate in the blood, Griseofulvin deposits specifically in keratin precursor cells (the cells that make skin, hair, and nails).
- The Barrier Effect: As the new hair or nail grows out, it is impregnated with the drug, making it resistant to fungal invasion. The old, infected tissue is gradually shed and replaced by healthy, drug-protected tissue.
- Systemic Reach: It is the drug of choice for widespread ringworm or infections of the hair follicles which topical creams cannot penetrate.
Product Composition & Strength
We supply this product as Uncoated Tablets (scored). Critical to its efficacy is the particle size; we strictly use Micronized API to ensure adequate absorption.

Manufacturing Authority
Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from WHO-GMP & ISO 9001:2015 certified units.
- Micronization Technology: Griseofulvin is practically insoluble in water. Standard crystals have very poor bioavailability. We use advanced air-jet milling to reduce the particle size (Micronized), which doubles the surface area and absorption rate compared to the older “microsize” formulations.
- Cross-Contamination Control: Being a Penicillium derivative, it is manufactured in dedicated suites to prevent cross-contamination with non-beta-lactam products.
Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)
Indicated for the treatment of dermatophyte infections where topical therapy is ineffective:
- Tinea Capitis (Scalp Ringworm): The FDA-approved treatment of choice for children.
- Onychomycosis (Tinea Unguium): Fungal infection of the fingernails and toenails.
- Tinea Corporis/Cruris/Pedis: Widespread ringworm, jock itch, or athlete’s foot.
- Note: Not effective against Candida (Yeast) or bacterial infections.
Dosage & Administration
Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Dermatologist):
- Route: Oral.
- The “Fatty Meal” Rule (CRITICAL): Absorption is significantly enhanced by fat. Patients MUST take this medication with a high-fat meal (e.g., milk, peanut butter, ice cream) to ensure it works.
- Adults (Skin/Scalp): 500 mg daily in single or divided doses.
- Adults (Nails): 1000 mg daily.
- Children: 10 mg/kg body weight daily.
- Duration: Long-term therapy is required.
- Skin: 2–4 weeks.
- Scalp: 4–6 weeks.
- Fingernails: 4–6 months.
- Toenails: 6–12 months (until the nail grows out completely).
Safety Warnings:
- Pregnancy (Teratogenic): Strictly Contraindicated in pregnancy. Can cause severe birth defects (conjoined twins). Women must use effective contraception during and for 1 month after treatment. Men should not father a child for 6 months after treatment.
- Alcohol Interaction: Can cause a “Disulfiram-like reaction” (flushing, nausea, racing heart) if alcohol is consumed. Avoid alcohol.
- Photosensitivity: Patients may burn easily in the sun. Wear protective clothing.
- Penicillin Allergy: Since it is derived from Penicillium mold, there is a theoretical risk of cross-reaction, though rare.
