Grisovin FP is a medication that fights fungal infections. It functions similarly to antibiotics but specifically targets fungal issues. Grisovin FP may also be prescribed for uses not mentioned in this medication guide.
Administer Grisovin FP exactly as your doctor instructs. If anything is unclear, consult your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor for clarification. Each dose should be taken with a full glass (8 ounces) of water. Your doctor might suggest taking Grisovin FP with a meal high in fat to enhance its absorption. It’s important to complete the entire prescribed course of Grisovin FP, even if you start to feel better, as your symptoms may improve before the infection is fully resolved.
The amount and frequency of dosage will depend on the specific strength of Grisovin FP prescribed and your condition. Follow your doctor’s instructions closely, typically taking it with a high-fat meal like a glass of whole cream milk to facilitate better absorption. Inform your doctor if you are following a low-fat diet.
Avoid changing your dose or abruptly stopping Grisovin FP without your doctor’s guidance, even if you start feeling better, as this could worsen your symptoms and lead to increased side effects.
If you forget to take a dose, do so as soon as you remember. If it’s close to the time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and continue with your regular schedule. Never take a double dose to compensate for a missed one.
As is the case with all medications, Grisovin FP may cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects include headaches, dizziness, unusual fatigue, stomach discomfort, vomiting, nausea, insomnia, and diarrhea. If these symptoms worsen or do not go away, contact your doctor promptly.
Rarely, Grisovin FP may cause side effects such as jaundice, weakness, numbness, pain, or tingling in the hands or feet, a sore throat, and fever. Seek immediate medical attention or contact your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.
