What is Soriatane (Acitretin) prescribed for?

Vitamin A is key for good vision, a healthy immune system and cell growth. There is two types of vitamin A. This entry is primarily about the active form of vitamin A, known as retinoids. And it comes from animal products. It is recommended to obtain antioxidants, including beta-carotene, by eating a well-balanced diet high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains rather than from supplements until more is known about the risks and benefits of supplementation. This medication is a retinoid, which is used in the treatment of severe psoriasis or other skin conditions in adults.

Psoriasis is a skin disorder that causes skin cells to multiply up to 10 times faster than normal. This makes the skin build up into bumpy red patches with white scales. They can grow anywhere on the body, but most appear on the scalp, elbows, knees and lower back. Psoriasis usually appears in early adulthood. For most people, it affects just a few areas. In severe cases, psoriasis can cover large parts of the body. The patches can heal and then come back throughout a person's life.
