Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Griseofulvin binds to tubulin and disrupts microtubule function, inhibiting fungal cell division and nucleic acid synthesis.
Miconazole inhibits fungal cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase, blocking ergosterol synthesis and disrupting fungal cell membrane integrity.
500 mg orally once daily or 250 mg orally twice daily; for severe infections, 500 mg twice daily or 250 mg three times daily. Maximum daily dose: 1 g. Administer with or after meals.
Insert one miconazole nitrate 200 mg vaginal suppository intravaginally once daily at bedtime for 3 consecutive days. Apply intravaginal cream as needed for symptom relief.

Terminal elimination half-life ranges from 6.5 to 9 hours (mean ~7.5 hours) in patients with normal hepatic function; prolonged in hepatic impairment.
After intravenous administration, the terminal elimination half-life is approximately 20-24 hours; after topical or intravaginal administration, systemic absorption is minimal, with a terminal half-life of 8-12 hours.
Primarily hepatic metabolism; less than 1% excreted unchanged in urine; approximately 30-50% of a dose is eliminated in feces as metabolites, with minor biliary excretion.
Miconazole is primarily eliminated via hepatic metabolism with biliary excretion of metabolites; <1% of unchanged drug is excreted renally. Fecal elimination accounts for approximately 20-30% of the dose.
