My daughter was prescribed this medication for her scalp after trying several other medications. After being tested, I was informed by her primary doctor that she did not have tinea capitis and was sent to the dermatologist. She had a coulter taken there and was informed that the problem in her head was not ringworm or contagious. Although they wanted to treat it with medication used to treat ringworm. She was prescribed shampoo and an oral medication. (They didn't work!) As a result her hair began to fall out. After 2 years of trying several different medicine combinations and several specialists, we were given a prescription for Gris-peg oral. I am happy to say within 2 weeks we were able to see a difference. Her scalp had completely cleared and her hair began to grow in the areas in which it had fallen out. This lasted 9 months after treatment was complete. In exactly nine months the problem returned. Within a week her scalp looked as though she never had treatment. Nothing that we have tried has worked. Published: December 05, 2008 ::
Had a fungal infection under my right big toenail. It took several months to clear up, but eventually healed completely with no apparent side effects. Published: March 14, 2008 ::
My son was treated with it. We took him off after being on it for almost a year as the ringworm was not clearing. The cortizone cream alone actually worked best. He's been off for two months and still complains of headaches and stomache aches. I would not recommend it. Published: February 08, 2008 ::
IT WORKS Published: June 14, 2009 ::
I do not know if this medication works. After taking it for two weeks, I broke out in a horrible rash. Dr. said it was an allergic reaction to something I ate. A few weeks later, I took another one of these pills and woke up a few hous later having trouble breathing. I had all of the horrible side effects. Needless to say, I will never recommend or take this medication again! Published: February 20, 2009 ::
