Can Griseofulvin cure nail fungus?

Griseofulvin is a medicine which is used to treat fungal infections. It is mainly prescribed for infections occurring on the skin or scalp. It is prescribed in particular for an infection called scalp ringworm (also called tinea capitis). It is also used to treat some nail infections, especially when other more frequently prescribed treatments are not suitable for some reason. It is said that it cures nails if they were mechanically thinned out (using nail file getting them as thin as possible) within a duration of 12 weeks. I only started using it a couple of days ago along with soaking my nails in vinegar twice daily. Toe nail fungus are hard to cure as the nail prevents all medications from penetrating into nail bed, therefore thinning the nails and using soaks alongside with ointments might increase the chance of killing it.

Also DO NOT DAMAGE the nail matrix in any way. ALSO it is crucial that you do not get any systemic diseases as some of these are known causes also with distress in the womb.
