Description:
Acitretin 10 mg is an oral retinoid medication primarily used to treat severe psoriasis and other keratinization disorders such as ichthyosis and lichen planus. It works by regulating the growth and differentiation of skin cells, helping to reduce scaling, inflammation, and abnormal keratin formation.
As a systemic retinoid, Acitretin normalizes skin cell turnover and promotes the development of healthier skin. It is particularly effective for patients with chronic plaque psoriasis unresponsive to topical therapies or phototherapy.
Acitretin is usually prescribed under specialist supervision due to its potential side effects and the need for monitoring during treatment.
