Hey, I was prescribed gris odt 250mg for a fungal infection on my back. But when I went to get it, they gave me grisovin FP 250mg because they were out of stock of the original one. I'm a little worried and just want to know if it's okay to use this as a substitute? Can you help me out here?

Grisovin FP (250mg) is a suitable alternative to Gris ODT (250mg) for fungal infections since they have the same active ingredient (Griseofulvin) and similar formulation (oral tablets). Consult your doctor and monitor your response to the medication.

Medication Differences
- Grisovin FP (Griseofulvin) and Gris ODT (Terbinafine) are distinct antifungal medications with different mechanisms and effectiveness.
-
Usage Considerations
- Griseofulvin: Typically for infections affecting hair, skin, and nails caused by dermatophytes; requires longer treatment.
- Terbinafine: Preferred for skin infections; works faster and covers a broader range of fungi.
-
Recommendation
- Do not substitute medications without consulting your healthcare provider.
- Contact your doctor to discuss any concerns or issues with the prescribed medication.
-
Action Steps
- Follow the prescribed treatment plan.
- Ensure professional guidance before making any medication changes.

View allI've been dealing with this issue where about a year ago, I noticed two small dark red blisters on the glans of my penis. They weren't painful and I barely noticed them at first, but now it's turned into something like a small wound that's slightly itchy and red. Ive tried a few things, but nothing seems to help. I'm really worried about why it hasn't healed yet, so could you help me figure out whats going on?

I'm really worried because I used Cosvate G cream on my face, and now it's dark and covered in spots. Can I start using Epiduo at night and Kojivit Ultra during the day to help with this?

I've been dealing with this issue for almost 10 months now. I've tried several over-the-counter antifungal creams, and they seem to cure the problem temporarily, but the infection comes back after a few weeks. I've also taken oral antifungal medication. What could be causing this recurring problem, and what should I do next to finally get rid of it?
no problem you can take.
