Medicine overview
Aceret 25 Mg Capsule contains 25 mg of acitretin, an oral systemic retinoid related to vitamin A. It is used for severe psoriasis, a condition in which skin cells build up too quickly and form thick, scaly areas. Acitretin helps regulate abnormal skin-cell growth and keratinisation. Because the medicine can cause serious adverse effects, particularly severe birth defects if used during pregnancy, treatment requires medical supervision and appropriate laboratory monitoring.
What it is used for
Aceret 25 Mg Capsule is used for severe psoriasis, particularly disease that is extensive, persistent, or inadequately controlled by other treatments. Acitretin preparations are also used in some jurisdictions for severe disorders of keratinisation, including certain forms of ichthyosis and Darier's disease. The exact indication should follow the prescriber's assessment and the locally approved product information.
How it works
Acitretin is a systemic retinoid related to vitamin A. Retinoids influence the growth, maturation, and keratinisation of skin cells. These effects help reduce the excessive production and accumulation of skin cells that contribute to thick, scaly psoriasis plaques and other severe keratinisation disorders. The precise mechanism responsible for acitretin's therapeutic effects has not been fully established.
How it is taken
Take Aceret by mouth exactly as prescribed. Acitretin capsules are swallowed whole with a meal or with milk; food improves acitretin absorption. The appropriate dose varies between patients according to the condition, response, and tolerability, so the prescribed amount should not be changed without medical guidance. If a dose is missed, do not double the next dose.
Important warnings
Acitretin is highly teratogenic and must not be used during pregnancy. It is also contraindicated in severe liver or kidney impairment, chronic abnormally elevated blood lipids, and during breastfeeding. Methotrexate and tetracycline antibiotics must not be taken concurrently; vitamin A supplements and other retinoids should also be avoided. Liver function and fasting cholesterol and triglycerides require monitoring. Acitretin can cause reduced night vision, psychiatric symptoms, liver injury, and marked lipid elevations. Patients must not donate blood during treatment and for at least 3 years after stopping.
Side effects and monitoring
Common or very common effects mainly involve the skin and mucous membranes and include dry or inflamed lips, dry mouth and nose, peeling or thinning skin, itching, nosebleeds, hair loss, and nail changes. Headache, muscle or joint pain and changes in blood lipids or liver tests can also occur. Serious problems include hepatitis or jaundice, severe hypertriglyceridaemia and pancreatitis, significant visual changes, and severe mood or psychiatric symptoms. Liver function and fasting lipid levels should be checked before and during treatment. Seek prompt medical attention for yellow skin or eyes, severe abdominal symptoms, major visual changes, or significant mental-health changes.
Pregnancy
Acitretin is highly teratogenic and is contraindicated during pregnancy because exposure can cause severe fetal abnormalities. Patients who can become pregnant must follow a strict pregnancy-prevention programme and avoid pregnancy during treatment and for at least 3 years after stopping acitretin. Pregnancy testing and reliable contraception are required according to applicable prescribing guidance.
Breastfeeding
Do not breastfeed while taking acitretin. Acitretin is lipophilic and can pass into breast milk, so its use is contraindicated during breastfeeding.
Food, drink and interactions
Patients who can become pregnant must avoid alcohol in drinks, foods, medicines, and other ingested products during acitretin treatment and for 2 months after stopping. Alcohol can promote formation of etretinate, a highly teratogenic metabolite that remains in the body much longer.
Food and drink
Take acitretin capsules with a meal or with milk because food improves absorption. Patients who can become pregnant must avoid foods and drinks containing alcohol throughout treatment and for 2 months afterward.
Storage
Store below 25°C. Protect the capsules from sunlight, excessive heat, and humidity, and keep them out of the reach of children.
Frequently asked questions
Why are my lips and skin so dry while taking acitretin?
Dry or inflamed lips, dry skin, dry nose and peeling are among the most frequent effects of acitretin. Moisturisers and lip emollients may help, but persistent or severe symptoms should be discussed with the prescriber.
Can psoriasis get worse when I first start acitretin?
Yes. Psoriasis can temporarily worsen near the beginning of acitretin treatment before improvement occurs. Do not change or stop prescribed treatment solely because of an early flare without discussing it with your prescriber.
Do I need blood tests while taking acitretin?
Yes. Liver function and fasting cholesterol and triglycerides should be checked before treatment and periodically during therapy because acitretin can affect the liver and raise blood lipid levels.
Can I drink alcohol while taking acitretin?
Patients who can become pregnant must avoid alcohol during treatment and for 2 months afterward. Alcohol can cause acitretin to be converted to etretinate, which remains in the body much longer and is highly teratogenic.
Should I take Aceret with food?
Yes. Acitretin capsules should be taken with a meal or with milk. Food improves the absorption of acitretin.
Can I take vitamin A supplements with Aceret?
No, unless specifically directed by the treating clinician. Vitamin A supplements and other retinoids should not be combined with acitretin because this can increase retinoid-related toxicity.
Why does pregnancy have to be avoided for so long after acitretin?
Acitretin can cause severe birth defects, and conversion to the longer-lasting teratogenic compound etretinate can occur, particularly with alcohol exposure. Pregnancy must therefore be prevented during treatment and for at least 3 years after treatment ends.
Can Cheap Generic Med ship Aceret 25 Mg Capsule to the United States?
Cheap Generic Med serves the United States under its international shipping model. Delivery is typically estimated at 10–14 business days after dispatch, although customs or carrier delays can extend transit; prescription and personal-import requirements may also apply.
