Acitretin is a second-generation oral retinoid (vitamin-A derivative) that is often used at a dosage of 0.25 to 1 mg per kg of body weight per day to treat severe psoriasis. It shares a structure with vitamin A. They slow down cell division by inducing keratinocyte differentiation and reducing epidermal hyperplasia. As a result, it prevents cell overgrowth and the thickening of skin cells. Join us in this webinar session to learn more about the role of acitretin in dermatology and the latest updates on it.
