Abstract:
This article focuses on the treatment of psoriasis with acitretin, the only systemic retinoid approved for psoriasis, and also briefly discusses its predecessor, etretinate, which was replaced by acitretin in 1997 and is no longer available. The use of topical tazarotene is also discussed in detail. Combination therapy of retinoids, both topical and systemic,with phototherapy and other therapeutic agents is described. In addition, new retinoid analogues that are undergoing clinical investigation are mentioned. Finally, potential toxicities and adverse effects associated with retinoids are discussed.
