Description

Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics:

Acitretin is a synthetic retinoid derivative with potent anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties. It works by modulating the growth and differentiation of skin cells, thereby reducing the abnormal proliferation characteristic of conditions such as psoriasis and other dermatoses. Acitretin also helps normalize keratinization and sebum production, leading to improved skin texture and appearance.

Drug Classification:

Acitretin is classified as a second-generation retinoid and is widely used in the treatment of various dermatological conditions, including psoriasis, palmoplantar pustulosis, and severe acne.

Formulations:

Our Acitretin Range is available in convenient capsule form, with strengths of 10 mg and 25 mg. Each capsule contains the optimal dosage of acitretin to effectively manage dermatological conditions and promote skin health.

Indications:

Psoriasis: Acitretin is indicated for the treatment of severe psoriasis, including plaque psoriasis, guttate psoriasis, and pustular psoriasis.

Palmoplantar Pustulosis: Acitretin is indicated for the management of palmoplantar pustulosis, a chronic inflammatory skin disorder affecting the palms and soles.

Severe Acne: Acitretin may be used in the treatment of severe acne vulgaris that has not responded adequately to other therapies.

Usage:

Take Acitretin capsules orally with water, preferably with meals to enhance absorption. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare professional for optimal results. Acitretin therapy may require regular monitoring of liver function, lipid levels, and pregnancy status due to potential side effects and contraindications.

The recommended dosage of Acitretin may vary depending on the specific condition being treated, severity of symptoms, and individual patient factors. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage regimen as directed by your healthcare provider.
