- Title
Risk:benefit ratio in the treatment of psoriasis with systemic retinoids.
- Authors
Halioua, B.; Saurat, J.-H.
- Abstract
This is a review of the efficacy of etretinate/acitretin in the treatment of psoriasis and of the currently reported side-effects. The data indicate that retinoids bring significant improvement (if not total clearing) with frequent low-morbidity but rarely serious side-effects. The most serious side-effect of etretinate/acitretin is teratogenicity.
