Persians are more prone to side effects of ringworm drug Griseofulvin. It is often treated with griseofulvin or terbinafine. Primary treatment involves griseofulvin, an antimycotic agent. Fungi can synthesize other mitotic inhibitors including vinblastine, vincristine, podophyllotoxin, griseofulvin, aurantiamine, oxaline, and neoxaline. Tinea unguum (nails) usually will require oral treatment with terbinafine, itraconizole, or griseofulvin. Fungicides, such as griseofulvin are also produced as secondary metabolites. Ultimately, a stereoselective reduction of the olefin on dehydrogriseofulvin by NADPH affords griseofulvin. Examples of non-azole systemic antifungals include griseofulvin and terbinafine. In modern medicine, systemic antifungals, such as griseofulvin, ketoconazole, and itraconazole, are the standard. Griseofulvin is used orally only for dermatophytosis. For severe or refractory cases of athlete's foot oral terbinafine is more effective than griseofulvin. Griseofulvin works by interfering with fungal mitosis. However, in some cases an oral antifungal such as griseofulvin may have to be prescribed. These drugs are preferred over griseofulvin as they have a shorter duration for treatment. The patient was treated with griseofulvin for 8 weeks and went into remission.
