Description
Griseofulvin Product Overview
Griseofulvin (C17H17ClO6) is a white to creamy white powder produced by fermentation with Penicillium griseofulvum. It is practically insoluble in water, so particle size strongly affects absorption; producers therefore offer microsize and ultramicrosize grades.
Pharmaceutical companies use it in tablets and oral suspensions for fungal infections of skin, hair and nails caused by dermatophytes. Veterinary producers use it for ringworm in cats, dogs, horses and cattle. Newer antifungals such as Fluconazole have replaced it in some indications, but it remains important, particularly in pediatric and veterinary use.
Zyntex supplies griseofulvin from qualified API producers with lot-specific documentation, only to licensed pharmaceutical and veterinary companies. For other antifungal APIs, see Nystatin and Miconazole Nitrate.
