Experiences with

Acitretin

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?

Has anyone else had experience of Acitretin? Thanks

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

Refusing to accept ACITRETIN scared 100% re side effects open to suggested aids Re personal experience

Combined imiquimod and acitretin for non-surgical treatment of basal cell carcinoma. Scand J Plast Reconstr Surg Hand Surg 2003; 37:293–5. Dagfinrud, H, Vollestad, NK, Loge, JH et al.

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

Anyone take acitretin for hypertrophic lupus - what side effects are you having ?

I have a pill that I take soriatane or acitretin most the time 25mgs a day or if I,m flareing I take 50mgs a day and lots of creams I,'ve had it for twenty years.

Has anyone got experience of Acitretin? The side effects scare me!! Has anyone tried UV therapy for this type of skin problem. I would very much welcome anyone's advice. Thanks #acitretin #pompholyxeczema

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!

Is Acitretin used to treat subacute cutaneous lupus. I was on hyroxichloraquine before.

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

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.

I wanted to know if any one can guide me on use of Acitretin...what are the merits and demerits of fighting psoriasis with this drug?

I came off acitretin after the 10 days and had to go to my GP for treatment for the water infection. So now i am on anti bios for 5 days.

He prescribed me acitretin tablet and diabovet ointment. Those were the hardest days of my life. I felt immense pain all over my joints alternatively. I couldn't even sleep at night .one day I had to go the nearby hospital.

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?
