Acitretin (trade name Soriatane ) is a second generation retinoid . It is taken orally, and is typically used for psoriasis .
It is a metabolite of etretinate , which was used prior to the introduction of acitretin. Etretinate was discontinued because it had a narrow therapeutic index as well as a long elimination half-life ( t 1/2 =120 days), making dosing difficult. In contrast, acitretin's half-life is approximately 2 days.
