This medicine was a little more expensive. There is another more common oral med called Griseofulvin that is cheaper, but my vet didn't want to use that because it is harsher and can damage the liver.

There is also a medicine that I've read is really good called Diflucan. A friend of mine had a puppy with ringworm told me that the vet gave her yorkie this. Her yorkie was just a baby puppy at the time. Diflucan is a newer med, so maybe its less money possible too (like competition to Itraconazole).

I hope that helps or is what you were looking for.
