About ACROTAC 10MG TABLET 20'S

  • ACROTAC 10MG TABLET 20'S is a retinoid medication used for the treatment of severe skin conditions. It is primarily prescribed for conditions such as psoriasis, ichthyosis, and keratosis follicularis (Darier's disease) that involve thickened and scaly skin.

How ACROTAC 10MG TABLET 20'S Works

  • ACROTAC 10MG TABLET 20'S exact mechanism of action of acitretin in treating skin conditions is not fully understood, but it is thought to work through several mechanisms:
  • Normalization of Skin Cell Growth - ACROTAC 10MG TABLET 20'S helps regulate the growth and development of skin cells. In conditions like psoriasis, ichthyosis, and keratosis follicularis, there is an abnormal increase in the production of skin cells, leading to thickened and scaly skin. Acitretin helps normalize this process by slowing down the excessive growth and turnover of skin cells.
  • Anti-inflammatory Effects - ACROTAC 10MG TABLET 20'S has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce the inflammation associated with skin conditions like psoriasis. It helps decrease the redness, swelling, and itching of the affected skin areas.
  • Modulation of Keratinization - ACROTAC 10MG TABLET 20'S influences the process of keratinization, which is the formation of a tough, protective protein called keratin in the skin. It helps regulate the production and shedding of keratinocytes, which are the cells responsible for producing keratin. By modulating keratinization, ACROTAC 10MG TABLET 20'S helps improve the texture and appearance of the skin.
