User Reviews for Griseofulvin oral

I had severe itching in the scalp, neck and back. Dr. said it is due to fungal infection and prescribed this 500 mg twice a day. Within a day, I had severe heaviness in head and dizziness. I have stopped it now. However I had some relief after taking this medicine. But to the side effect I am not continuing. Need to check with Dr some alternate medicine

hard sores which are not pain full

This med was prescribed for my 9 month old daughter. After a week and a half, it caused runny poop and a red rash on her face. She stayed a little warm and it caused her to spit up which is very unusual because she is on breast milk and always keeps her food and milk down. She didn't like the taste, so that didn't help either.

My 4 yr old just started taking this 3 days ago. He complaned of a head ache... But then it goes away. I am very worried because I have noticed his mood change... He becomes hyper after taking it and has started to get in trouble at his school. Which has never happened. His teacher mentioned this to me yesterday. I don't know where I stand with this med. I may discontinue it and just use topical cream. Though it is on his scalp and its hard to put cream on each one. He has one big one that oozes out and others that are very small. I am so frustrated!Read More Read Less

I have a 4 yr. old who has been perscribed this medication for the treatment of ringworm of the scalp. She most likely picked the fungus up from our local public pool and we have been dealing with this since the beginng of July 2010. We are seeing very noticable changes on her scalp. She is getting her hair back and it is staying in even after being brushed.(before the meds. her hair would come back and upon brushing would fall right back out). We are also using a fungal shampoo, Keto 2%. The only problem I have had with my daughter was getting her to take the medication, the flavor it comes in is a orange and has a bitter taste. She would make her-self vomit after she was given the oral medication. There were no other medications available to her so we had to get it down her somehow. We put it in juices, ice cream, pudding. You name it and she found it everytime. I went to our local Walgreen's and they were able to change the taste by adding bubble gum flavoring to it. It was the BEST $2.99 I ever spent. She takes it now with no fuss what so ever. We have had no side effects at all. The medication MUST be taken with fatty foods this helps the body to absorb the medication. Ringworm is easy to catch and hard to get rid of. It is a long treatment, so stick with it. As soon as you think it is gone and stop treatment it will come right back. Check with your Doctor before you stop treatment.Read More Read Less

My six year old daughter contracted ringworm of the scalp somehow from school. Her pediatrician put her on this for six weeks. It has progressively gotten worse! Its scabby and seaps liquid sometimes. Its painful for her to brush hair and even getting bald spots. It has been a very hard experience. After six long weeks of this medication, she has just changed her to another today which she will have to take for a month. I only pray this works better!

My son and I struggled for 2 years with idiot doctor's before we found one that prescribed this and it worked wonders for his ringworm

I am using this medication for my 4 yr old daughter for her scalp. She caught this nasty fungus, and I don't know how because she is not in school/daycare. I find it very effective;however, it does take long to treat almost 8 weeks to be exact. I was also given Nixoral to help speed up getting rid of this nasty fungus.

My 4 year old started taking the med last night. Before, His ring worm would heal then comeback again. This morning when we got up I check his scalp the blister are going away and he said it was not hurting him anymore. he did complain of a slight headache and felt a little warm, i'm not sure if that is side effect related. I do enjoy how easy it is to use.

It clears my stuffy nose as well, giving me good sleep

My 6 year old was taking this med for his scalp area and on his skin. He has taken it before but this time he has gotten diarreah really bad. That is the only problem I have with this medication.

My 5 yr old just started taking this two days ago. See no difference yet but doc did say she needed to be on it for 2 months to make sure it clears up. Ringworms don't look like they use to. Hers look like scabs instead of rings and her hair is still there. Have to give the meds with fatty foods or milk or your child will have diarrhea but mine has not had any yet.

my 4year old daughter got a small rash behind her ears then it went away, a little truoble sleeping all night but it worked no other side affects.

My 6 year old contracted ringworm of the scalp. He started taking this medicine but had to stop because it gave him severe diarreah (sp?) and leakage.
