About Aceret 25 Capsule
Aceret 25 Capsule belongs to a group of medications called ‘retinoids’ used to treat psoriasis. Psoriasis is an autoimmune (immune system attacks healthy cells) skin disorder in which the skin becomes scaly, swollen, and itchy. It mostly affects the knee, elbows, scalp, and trunk. It is a lifelong condition, and treatment is given to remove affected skin cells and avoid flare-ups of the disease.
The Aceret 25 Capsule contains ‘Acitretin’, which belongs to the class of retinoids derived from vitamin A. It has anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative (decreases skin cell multiplication) properties. It works by slowing down the progression of the disease. It reduces the speed of skin cell growth and gradually clears the affected skin. It helps reduce the redness, scaling, and thickness of psoriasis rashes.
Aceret 25 Capsule is available in the form of tablets/capsules. You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Aceret 25 Capsule may cause side-effects such as dry lips, peeling of the skin, especially the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, nose bleed, scaling and thinning of healthy skin, reddening of the skin, itching, burning sensation on the skin, sticky skin, hair loss, swelling and pain in the area around your nails, fragile nails, inflammation of the eye (conjunctivitis), increased thirst, and feeling cold. These side effects usually go away after discontinuing the treatment. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.
Do not take Aceret 25 Capsule if you are allergic to Acitretin or any other ingredients present in it. Aceret 25 Capsule should not be used in patients with liver or kidney failure, high cholesterol, and taking other medicines containing retinoids or supplements containing vitamin A. Aceret 25 Capsule should not be used in pregnant and breastfeeding women. Aceret 25 Capsule should be used with caution in children as it may affect growth and bone development.
