About Zorbax Suspension

Zorbax Suspension belongs to a class of drugs called antifungals used to treat fungal infections of the skin like ringworm, jock itch, athlete’s foot, and fungal infections of nails and hair. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).

Zorbax Suspension contains Griseofulvin which works by binding to the keratin (a protein that is formed in the cells of the skin, hair follicles, and nail bed) and inhibits the growth and multiplication of fungal cells. Thereby, it prevents newly grown keratin from being infected by fungal cells. The infected keratin dies and sheds from the body leaving new healthy keratin.

Take Zorbax Suspension as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you need to take Zorbax Suspension based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, diarrhoea, headache, and discomfort in the stomach. Most of these side effects of Zorbax Suspension do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Zorbax Suspension or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Zorbax Suspension . Avoid or limit sun exposure while using Zorbax Suspension as it may cause photosensitivity reactions (make the skin more sensitive to the sun’s UV rays). Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen while going out to protect your skin from sunburn. Do not take Zorbax Suspension if you have porphyria (blood disorder), or liver failure.
