I'm really concerned about the safety of skin whitening pills. I've come across a lot of products that promise lighter skin, but I'm worried about potential side effects or long-term impacts on my health. Are these pills actually safe to use, or should I be cautious?

I'm taking griseofulvin because my doctor prescribed it for a problem, but I forgot to mention that I'm already on tryptomer. Is it okay to take tryptomer and griseofulvin on the same day, like maybe griseofulvin in the morning and tryptomer before bed? I'm a bit concerned about any interactions or issues that could arise from taking them together.
