Acitretin

Capsule

Acitretin capsules contain acitretin, a synthetic retinoid (vitamin A derivative) used in the treatment of severe psoriasis and other disorders of keratinization. It works by normalizing the growth and differentiation of skin cells, thereby reducing scaling, thickness, and inflammation associated with these conditions. Acitretin is particularly effective in chronic plaque psoriasis and helps improve overall skin texture and appearance when used under medical supervision.
