Gresifulwin 500 (Griseofulvin) is an oral antifungal antibiotic designed to eliminate persistent fungal infections from within.
Griseofulvin works by binding to keratin in the body (the protein found in skin, hair, and nails). By doing so, it prevents fungal cells from dividing and spreading, effectively stopping the infection at its source. As new skin or hair grows, it is infused with the medication, making it resistant to further fungal attack. It is a gold-standard treatment for stubborn cases of tinea (ringworm) and infections involving the scalp and nails where topical ointments cannot penetrate deep enough.
