Acitretin

My consultant has just suggested me trying Acitretin for my psoriasis. The unpleasant side effects seem to be VERY common, and I was wondering what others have experienced. Many thanks

Alternative biologics

Due to bad side effects of acitretin it has been suggested that I use either adalimumab or risankizubab of which it is reported that the latter has higher efficacy Side effects of adalimumab appear to be predominantly headache and various bowel issues. Has anyone any experience of risankizumab?

CLL and related skin conditions

A possible treatment for these skin conditions was presented by an Austrian Professor this being very small doses of Acitretin Neotigason where he had good results. Has anyone had experience of this treatment for these skin conditions allied to CLL

Lichen Planus misery

Dermatologist prescribed Acitretin which improved appearance of skin after 2 weeks but gave me really sore cracked lips, and worried me because side effects can cause hair loss. Bad enough having rash everywhere without losing hair as well!

Been taken off cyclosporine due to kidney/liver results in blood tests

They tried me on Acitretin but that didn't seem to do much. I am 76. Thanks for reading.

Anyone taking Acitretin Neotigason for Psoriasis?

My husband has just been given Acitretin 25g capsules for his Psoriasis. Anyone know if it works? He's only been taking them for 4 days and he's complained of a headache every morning.

Has anyone had to use Acitretin? Did it cause you 'headaches'?

Oh, and apparently the normal course of Acitretin is 4-6 weeks. I am really quite worried that I have been taking it for over 4 years. Has anyone else experienced anything even remotely similar?
