When Sam used clotrimazole (Lotrimin AF) for athlete's foot he developed a red, itchy rash consistent with a hypersensitivity reaction. He now has athlete's foot again. What would be a good choice of antifungal for Sam?
 
  1. Miconazole (Micatin) powder
  2. Ketoconazole (Nizoral) cream
  3. Terbinafine (Lamisil) cream
  4. Griseofulvin (Grifulvin V) suspension

Question 2

When prescribing griseofulvin (Grifulvin V) to treat tinea capitis it is critical to instruct the patient or parent to:
 
  1. Mix the griseofulvin with ice cream before administering
  2. Take the griseofulvin until the tinea clears, in approximately 4 to 5 weeks
  3. Shampoo with baby shampoo daily while taking the griseofulvin
  4. Griseofulvin is best absorbed if ingested with a high-fat food.
