Chai Sue Lee et al.
Expert opinion on drug safety, 8(6), 769-779 (2009-12-10)
Acitretin is an oral retinoid that is approved for the treatment of psoriasis. It is unique compared to other systemic therapies for psoriasis such as methotrexate and cyclosporine in that it is not immunosuppressive. It is, therefore, safe for use
Alessandro Borghi et al.
Acta dermato-venereologica, 95(3), 332-336 (2014-07-01)
The efficacy and safety of acitretin was evaluated retrospectively in a cohort of 46 patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) range 10-42). Patients were treated at an initial dose of 10 mg/day acitretin
Agranulocytosis and total scalp alopecia following acitretin.
T A Chave et al.
The British journal of dermatology, 148(5), 1063-1064 (2003-06-06)
British Association of Dermatologists guidelines on the efficacy and use of acitretin in dermatology.
A D Ormerod et al.
The British journal of dermatology, 162(5), 952-963 (2010-04-29)
M Lebwohl et al.
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 45(4), 544-553 (2001-09-25)
Although adjunctive treatment with retinoids in concert with either psoralen-ultraviolet A (PUVA) or ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy has been a treatment option for chronic, moderate to severe plaque psoriasis for nearly two decades, acitretin-UV therapy is an underutilized therapeutic modality.
