Zorbax Tablet is taken orally.

Zorbax Tablet 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 Zorbax Tablet 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 Zorbax Tablet out of reach of children.

• 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 Zorbax Tablet.
