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.

- Contact your doctor to discuss any concerns or issues with the prescribed medication.
-
Action Steps

I've been noticing these small lumps on my cheekbone, right under my eye. They tend to swell up by themselves and then the swelling goes down after a few days, but then they come back after about a month. It's like a recurring cycle and I'm starting to get scars from them. Should I be worried about these lumps? What could be causing this?
