The first night on it my 10 ye old daughter had a stomach ache. Then the next day a headache...and a more severe headache on the 3rd night with nausea & a hard time sleeping! She said it felt like a migraine. Also, not much appetite at all.

Oral tabs, 1x a day. I've only been on them for 4-5 days. No noticeable side effects. The ringworm seems to be receding.

Would not recommend this medication. have not yet confirmed but believe this medication has givin my son a rash went to the doctor they couldnt tell what it was. they refer us to dermatologists she had to look in a book and kind of guess what it was. during the time i stop the medication for about 2weeks and his rash was clearing up. just a couple weeks ago i started it back because his fungal infection in his toe has not clear up yet. the itchy rash is starting to appear again. on face and elbows and upper chest. i assume to believe it is the medication. and any medication that you take so long has to have some type of side effect to it. specially a child at the age of 7.

I started taking this med. for ringworm. The ringworm went away with discoloration of the skin left. Also I stayed very tired all the time. Easy to use, yet being tired all the time takes atoll on the family and work.

My mother (age 91)is taking this for a fungus on her face. She has been sick to her stomach and unable to eat much. Also very dizzy. Last night she fell and cut her face. We will stop this medicine immediately.

I am only 2 weeks into a 4-8 week dosage and have found no improvements. NONE. I was previously on 250mg of Terabinfine twice daily for the two weeks leading up to the switch to Griseofulvin and made the switch because that too did not work. I have no idea if I am being impatient but Tinea Barbae is extremly unsightly and very, very depression to look at in the mirror, especially when you feel like there are many possibilities of misdiagnosis. I have not found any actual reviews of treatments for Tinea Barbae and am hoping that mine will open up the doors! This is miserable but I know these things take time. If I could see just a hint of an improvement I wouldn't be writing this. If I KNEW it had worked for someone else it would ease my mind.Read More Read Less

My twelve year old daughter has had ringworm for a year now. I've tried every topical cream there is. She started with the liquid Griseofulvin 10 days ago. (300mg 2x's a day for 8 weeks) Haven't noticed a change in ringworm as of yet. No side effects either. I'll keep you posted on her progress.

Try soaking in a bath of epsom salts before taking any medication for ringworm - acts as a drying agent. Two times should do the trick. It's all about what they can sell you.

for the first week I had blindingly severe headaches and stomache aches. the doctor failed to mention this drug would make me dizzy. After taking for the first week the ringworm started to itch horribly like it never had. it's drying up but when I put anti itch cream on it it burns very badly for about 20 minutes before it stops itching so theres good and bad

No sun sensitivity warning was on label. ON the last of 28 days of treatment, I had a grapefruit (also no warning) then went for a hike - I got a serious sunburn/rash on my neck and hands. The ringworm hasn't completely gone away (still discoloration and occasional itch, but much better than before with OTC creme.
