Description
Acrotac 25 mg Capsule
Product Overview
Acrotac 25 mg is a prescription medication primarily used for the treatment of severe psoriasis and other disorders involving abnormal skin cell growth. It helps reduce scaling, redness, thickening, and inflammation of the skin associated with chronic dermatological conditions. Acrotac is often prescribed when topical treatments alone are not effective and systemic therapy is required.
Active Ingredient
Acrotac 25 mg contains Acitretin 25 mg, a synthetic retinoid derived from Vitamin A.
How It Works
Acitretin works by regulating the growth and development of skin cells. In conditions such as psoriasis, skin cells multiply too quickly, leading to thick, scaly patches. Acrotac helps normalize skin cell production, reducing excessive scaling, inflammation, and plaque formation while promoting healthier skin renewal.
