Short-term and long-term considerations in the management of psoriasis with retinoids

M T Goldfarb et al. Dermatologica. 1987.

Abstract

Etretinate is a valuable addition to the treatment of psoriasis. Because of its numerous side effects, it should be reserved for only pustular, erythrodermic, and severe cases of plaque-type psoriasis. Many patients whose psoriasis has been recalcitrant to conventional therapy may greatly benefit from this drug.
