Product Overview

This formulation operates as a “Genetic Skin Regulator.” Acitretin is a metabolite of Etretinate; it works by entering the nucleus of skin cells and changing how they grow and shed.

  • Mechanism 1 (Nuclear Receptor Binding): Acitretin binds to specific Retinoic Acid Receptors (RARs) inside the skin cells. This binding acts as a “command signal” to the cell’s DNA.

  • Mechanism 2 (Normalization of Proliferation): In Psoriasis, skin cells multiply too fast. Acitretin physically slows down this overactive growth and promotes normal cell differentiation, preventing the formation of thick, scaly plaques.

  • Mechanism 3 (Anti-Inflammatory Action): It reduces the infiltration of inflammatory cells into the skin, significantly decreasing redness and irritation associated with erythrodermic and pustular psoriasis.

Safety Warning: Severe Teratogenicity. Acitretin causes severe birth defects. MANDATORY: Females of reproductive potential must use two forms of effective contraception and avoid pregnancy for 3 years after stopping the drug. Alcohol Restriction: Alcohol must be avoided during and for 2 months after therapy, as it can convert Acitretin into the long-lasting Etretinate. Monitor Liver Function Tests (LFTs) and lipid profiles regularly.
