Acitretin

Acitretin is commonly sold under brand names such as Soriatane and Acihexal.

Acitretin is an oral retinoid (a form of vitamin A) used to treat severe skin conditions such as psoriasis, particularly when other treatments have not been effective. Acitretin works by slowing down the growth of skin cells, helping to reduce scaling, thickening, and redness of the skin. It is typically prescribed for long-term management of psoriasis or other severe skin disorders under careful medical supervision. Acitretin is not used for treating acne and should be prescribed only by a healthcare provider experienced in the use of retinoids.

Featured Acitretin Generics

Directions

• Take Acitretin exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, usually once daily with a main meal to improve absorption.
• Swallow the capsule whole with water; do not crush or chew the capsule.
• It may take several weeks to see an improvement in your skin condition. Continue to take Acitretin as directed, even if you do not see immediate results.
• Avoid consuming large amounts of vitamin A from food or supplements, as this may increase the risk of side effects.

Special Precautions

• Pregnancy Warning: Acitretin can cause severe birth defects. Women of childbearing age must not take Acitretin unless they follow strict contraception guidelines. Two reliable forms of birth control should be used, starting 1 month before treatment, during treatment, and for at least 3 years after stopping the medication.
• Do not donate blood while taking Acitretin and for at least 3 years after stopping it, as the blood could be given to a pregnant woman and harm the fetus.
• Inform your doctor if you have a history of liver disease, kidney disease, high cholesterol, or excessive alcohol consumption before starting Acitretin.
• Avoid alcohol while taking Acitretin, as it can increase the risk of liver damage and other serious side effects.
• Limit sun exposure, as Acitretin may make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors.
• Tell your healthcare provider about any other medications or supplements you are taking, as Acitretin can interact with certain drugs, including tetracycline antibiotics, methotrexate, and vitamin A supplements.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Acitretin may include:

• Dry skin, lips, or eyes
• Hair thinning or loss
• Peeling of the palms and soles
• Increased sensitivity to sunlight
• Nosebleeds

Serious side effects are rare but may include liver problems, high cholesterol or triglycerides, severe allergic reactions (such as rash, itching, swelling, trouble breathing), and changes in mood or behavior. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as yellowing of the skin/eyes, dark urine, unusual tiredness, or signs of an allergic reaction.

Missed Dosage

If you miss a dose of Acitretin, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time of your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.

Storage Requirements

• Store Acitretin at room temperature, between 68°F and 77°F (20°C to 25°C), away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.
• Keep the capsules in their original container, tightly closed when not in use.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
