Griseofulvin

Griseofulvin is an anti-fungal drug given to pets with fungal infections of the skin and hair coat. Most commonly, it is prescribed to pets with ringworm (which is actually a fungus, not a worm!). Sometimes, ringworm can be treated with a topical medication, but often an oral tablet is the best way to get rid of the fungus. Do not give this drug to a pet with an empty stomach. Complete giving the full prescription of medication, even if signs of ringworm are no longer present.

How It Works

Griseofulvin halts the growth of ringworm by blocking cell division. This allows your pet’s immune system to catch up with the fungus and get rid of it.
