General Info:

What is Grisactin?

• Grisactin is an antifungal medication. It is like an antibiotic but is used to treat fungal infections.
• Grisactin is used to treat fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails such as jock itch, athlete's foot, and barber's itch.
• Grisactin may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

How should I take Grisactin?

• Take Grisactin exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these instructions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.
• Take each dose with a full glass (8 ounces) of water.
• Your doctor may recommend that you take Grisactin with a fatty meal to increase its absorption into your body.
• Take all of the Grisactin that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may begin to improve before the infection is completely treated.
• Shake the suspension well before measuring a dose. To ensure that you get a correct dose, measure the liquid form of Grisactin with a dose-measuring spoon or cup, not with a regular tablespoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one.
• Store Grisactin tablets, capsules, and suspension at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?

• Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Take the rest of the day's doses at evenly spaced intervals unless your doctor directs otherwise.

What happens if I overdose?

• Seek emergency medical attention.
• Symptoms of a Grisactin overdose are not well known but might include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, numbness and tingling, and confusion.

What are the possible side effects of Grisactin?

• Stop taking Grisactin and seek emergency medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives).
• Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take Grisactin and notify your doctor if you experience
  • white patches in your mouth (thrush/ yeast infection);
  • nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea;
  • headache, dizziness, or tiredness;
  • insomnia;
  • confusion;
