About this item
Refucil is an "antifungal antibiotic" derived from species of Penicillium. It is specifically designed to target dermatophytes—the fungi responsible for common conditions like ringworm and athlete's foot. Because it is deposited in the keratin precursor cells, the infection is essentially "pushed out" as your new, healthy skin or nails grow in.
Dosage and Administration
- Adults: Usually 500mg (1 tablet) daily. For severe infections or nail fungus, your doctor may increase this to 1000mg.
- Children: Dosage is based on body weight and must be determined by a pediatrician.
- Duration: Treatment length varies significantly:
- Skin/Scalp: 4 to 6 weeks.
- Fingernails: Up to 4 months.
- Toenails: 6 months or longer (until the new nail has fully grown).
Proper Usage Tips
- The "Fatty Meal" Rule: CRITICAL: Griseofulvin is poorly absorbed on its own. You must take your tablet with a meal containing some fat (e.g., whole milk, cheese, butter, or meat) to ensure the medicine enters your bloodstream effectively.
+1 - Complete the Course: Even if the skin looks clear, you must finish the entire prescription to prevent the fungus from returning.
- Hygiene: Keep the infected area clean and dry. Do not share towels, hats, or footwear during treatment.
How to Store and Dispose of Refucil
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from light.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return unused medication to your pharmacist.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications and Restrictions
- Pregnancy: DO NOT USE if you are pregnant. Griseofulvin can cause birth defects. Men should not father a child during treatment and for 6 months after stopping.
+1 - Liver Disease: Not suitable for individuals with severe liver failure or porphyria.
- Lupus: May worsen Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
Side Effects of Refucil
- Common: Headache (often goes away as treatment continues), nausea, or diarrhea.
- Photosensitivity: Your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight. Wear protective clothing and sunscreen.
- Action: If you experience a severe skin rash, yellowing of the eyes (jaundice), or extreme fatigue, contact your doctor immediately.
Precautions and Warnings
- Alcohol: Avoid alcohol while taking Refucil; it can increase the effects of alcohol and cause a racing heartbeat or flushing.
Contraception: Griseofulvin may decrease the effectiveness of combined oral contraceptive pills. Use an additional barrier method (like condoms) during treatment and for one month after.
- Strength: 500mg per tablet.
- Form: Oral Tablet.
- Classification: Prescription-Only Medicine (POM).
