The microparticle type of this drug can be absorbed by 25% - 70%, and the ultramicroparticle type can be absorbed almost completely after oral administration. Eating fat can significantly increase the degree of absorption. The serum protein binding rate is about 80%. After absorption, the product can deposit in the cuticle of skin, hair and nail, and combine with its keratin to prevent the invasion of sensitive dermatophytes. The pathogenic fungi existing in the superficial cuticle leave the human body with the shedding of skin or hair, and only a small amount is distributed to other body fluids and tissues. It can also enter fetal circulation and secrete from milk. The main metabolites are 6-methylgriseofulvin and its glyoxal acylate. The elimination half-life (T1 / 2 β) of serum is 14-24 hours.
