Influence of a systemically administered aromatic retinoid (Ro 10-9359) on the light sensitivity
Abstract:
The light sensitivity was determined on 14 psoriasis patients using two different light sources before, and after a three week period of systemic administration of 75 to 100 mg daily of the aromatic retinoid (ethyl ester of all-trans-9-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3,7-dimethyl-2,4,6,8-nonatetraenoic acid, Ro 10-9359 [1]). The results indicate that with this therapy, the light sensitivity remains unchanged or even decreases; there is thus no contraindication to the simultaneous application of phototherapy and the systemic administration of this retinoic acid derivative.
