Why griseofulvin given with fat?
Griseofulvin is given with fat because its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract is significantly enhanced in the presence of dietary fats. The lipid environment increases the solubility of griseofulvin, allowing for better bioavailability and effectiveness in treating fungal infections. This is particularly important since griseofulvin has low water solubility, and taking it with a fatty meal can optimize its therapeutic action.

Can griseofulvin and doxycycline be taken together?
Griseofulvin and doxycycline can generally be taken together, as there are no known significant drug interactions between the two medications. However, it's essential to consult with a healthcare provider to confirm compatibility based on individual health conditions and other medications. Both drugs serve different purposes—griseofulvin is an antifungal, while doxycycline is an antibiotic. Always follow your doctor's guidance when combining medications.
What Treatment Options are Available for Ringworm?
Most ringworm can be treated with ointments, called topical antifungals, regardless of the location of the ringworm. If creams fail to eliminate ringworm or it is very widespread, antifungal pills are also available. Fluconazole, also called Diflucan, terbinafine, also called Lamisil, and griseofulvin are all oral treatments for ringworm. Though the rash might begin to clear quickly, it is important to use medicine as prescribed. Treatment usually needs to continue for two to four weeks.
What does the drug griseofulvin do?
Griseofulvin is an antifungal agent; it is specifically used for some types of superficial fungal infections of the skin. It acts by binding to and inhibiting special proteins (called tubulins) in fungi that are needed to replicate and continue the infection.
