Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Psoriasis treatments like methotrexate, PUVA, cyclosporine, and acitretin can cause significant side effects.
  • Combination therapy offers a strategy to improve treatment efficacy and reduce adverse events in psoriasis management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review combination therapy regimens for psoriasis involving acitretin.
  • To discuss the therapeutic outcomes and side effect profiles of combining acitretin with other systemic agents.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies detailing combination therapy for psoriasis.
  • Analysis of treatment regimens combining acitretin with PUVA, cyclosporine, and methotrexate.

Main Results:

  • Combination therapy allows for reduced dosages of individual systemic agents.
