Ecovin 500 Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Ecovin 500 Tablet 10 contains griseofulvin (500 mg) which acts on the body as follows:

• Disruption of Mitotic Spindle Formation: Griseofulvin works by disrupting the formation of mitotic spindles in fungal cells. These spindles play a significant role in cell division, so their disruption inhibits the growth and spread of fungi.
• Binding with Keratin: Griseofulvin binds with keratin which is a key structural protein in skin, hair, and nails. As old keratin is replaced by new keratin containing griseofulvin, the medicine gradually reaches fungicidal concentrations in the infected tissues over a period of weeks to months. This unique mechanism of action necessitates a long duration of treatment for complete eradication of the fungal infection.

• Store Ecovin 500 Tablet 10 in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture.
• The ideal storage temperature is below 30°C.
• Keep the medicine in its original packaging until it's time to take it.
• Always keep Ecovin 500 Tablet 10 out of reach of children.
• Use the medicine before its expiry date.

• As fungal infections thrive in moist environments, ensure you keep your skin clean and dry. Avoid wearing tightly fitted clothes, especially during hot weather.
• Include foods rich in healthy fats such as avocados, fatty fish, and nuts in your diet. This enhances the absorption of Griseofulvin, the active ingredient in Ecovin 500 Tablet 10.
