Pregnancy and lactation

Systemic treatment with griseofulvin should be avoided in pregnancy and although human studies have not shown any significant absorption into the systemic circulation following topical administration of Grisol, safety in human pregnancy or lactation has not been established, and therefore it should not be used unless the practitioner considers that the benefit of treatment outweighs the risk.

Effects on ability to drive and use machines

None known.

Undesirable effects

Grisol may cause skin irritation, i.e. slight stinging or burning on application, although this is unlikely to necessitate discontinuation of treatment.
