Hovid Griseofulvin 500mg Tablet 10s (Strip)

Hovid Griseofulvin 500mg Tablet is an antifungal medication, with griseofulvin as its active ingredient, belonging to a class of antifungals derived from Penicillium species. If you're starting this medication, you're probably wondering what to expect from treatment — it's taken orally, generally with fatty food to improve absorption, and treatment courses tend to run considerably longer than most other medications, sometimes lasting weeks or months depending on the site of infection. Some people experience headache, mild nausea, loss of appetite, or skin rash, particularly early in treatment. It's meant to be taken consistently for the full duration prescribed by your doctor, since fungal infections of the skin, hair, or nails clear gradually as new, uninfected tissue grows in. Because this medication affects the liver and has important interactions with hormonal contraceptives, it's worth having a thorough discussion with your doctor about contraception planning and any other medications you're taking before starting this medicine.

The usual adult dose is 500mg to 1000mg daily, taken as a single dose or divided into two doses, with the total daily amount generally not falling below 10mg per kg of body weight. Treatment duration varies considerably depending on the site and severity of the fungal infection, so your doctor will determine how long you need to continue treatment.

• Headache
• Loss of appetite
• Mild nausea
• Skin rash or hives
• Photosensitivity (increased sensitivity to sunlight)
• Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet (rare, usually with extended therapy)
• Fatigue
• Diarrhoea (uncommon)
• Allergic reactions such as facial swelling (rare)
• Liver function abnormalities (rare, requiring monitoring during prolonged treatment)

Store the tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture, in their original packaging. Keep out of reach of children.

• Take with fatty food to improve absorption
• Complete the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve early
• Use additional non-hormonal contraception if you're on hormonal birth control, and continue for the period advised by your doctor after finishing treatment
• Avoid excessive sun exposure, as this medication can increase photosensitivity
• Check the expiry date before use
• Store at room temperature, away from heat and moisture
• Keep out of reach of children
• Avoid alcohol while on treatment, as it may cause flushing and a rapid heartbeat

Swallow the tablet with a glass of water, ideally with or after a meal containing some fat, as this helps improve how well the medication is absorbed. Take it consistently at the same time each day for the full duration prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms appear to improve before treatment is complete.

Hovid Griseofulvin 500mg Tablet generally has a shelf life of around 2–3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the strip and outer packaging before use.

• Griseofulvin – an antifungal agent that binds to keratin in developing skin, hair, and nail cells to prevent fungal growth

• Known hypersensitivity to griseofulvin or any other ingredient in the formulation
• Severe liver impairment (hepatocellular failure)
• Porphyria (a group of rare metabolic disorders)
• Contraindicated during pregnancy, given the risk of harm to the developing baby
• Not recommended while breastfeeding, given limited safety data
• Caution advised in patients with a history of lupus erythematosus, as griseofulvin may worsen this condition

Griseofulvin can significantly reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, so additional non-hormonal contraception (such as condoms) is generally recommended during treatment and for a period afterward. It may also interact with blood thinners like warfarin, barbiturates, and alcohol (which can cause flushing and a rapid heartbeat), so it's essential to inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications, including oral contraceptives, that you're using before starting treatment.
