Synthetic retinoids in veterinary dermatology

H T Power et al. Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract. 1990 Nov.

Abstract

The synthetic retinoids, isotretinoin (Accutane) and etretinate (Tegison) are vitamin A analogs. They affect epithelial differentiation and thus have potential for therapy for disorders of epithelial maturation such as keratinization defects of cutaneous neoplasia. The pharmacology, indications for use, clinical experience, potential toxicities, and recommended monitoring of these drugs are discussed.
