| - | This drug is an oral retinoid, which is a synthetic form of vitamin A and usually prescribed to those with severe cases of psoriasis (Feldman, 2013). Retinoids help control the multiplication of cells, including the speed with which skin cells grow and shed, which increases in psoriasis (Mayo Clinic, 2015). The dose ranges of acitretin can be anywhere from 25 mg every other day to 50 mg daily (Feldman, 2013). Acitretin can also be prescribed in combination with UVA or PUVA therapy; shown to increase response rates (Feldman, 2013). The use of this medication may put one at risk of lip inflammation or hair loss. Those who are or may become pregnant should also be wary of this medication as it has been shown to elicit birth defects in pregnant women (Mayo Clinic, 2015). **__MANAGEMENT__** | + | This drug is an oral retinoid, which is a synthetic form of vitamin A and usually prescribed to those with severe cases of psoriasis (Feldman, 2013).
