Aceret 25 mg Capsule

Aceret 25 mg Capsule is a prescription medicine that contains 25 mg of acitretin in each capsule. Acitretin is a retinoid medicine used for severe skin disorders, especially psoriasis that has not responded well to other treatments. Aceret 25 mg Capsule helps slow the rapid growth of skin cells and can improve thick, scaly plaques over time. It is used only under close medical supervision because it can cause serious side effects, especially if taken incorrectly.

How it works: Acitretin works by affecting how skin cells grow and mature, helping slow the overproduction of skin cells that happens in psoriasis. As a capsule, Aceret 25 mg Capsule is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system so the medicine can work throughout the body.

Aceret 25 mg Capsule is a higher-strength acitretin capsule, so it is usually chosen for people a doctor has already assessed and who may need more than a low-strength option. Compared with lower-dose capsules, the 25 mg strength may be used when a stronger daily dose is needed, but it can also raise the chance of dryness and other dose-related side effects. A clinician may select Aceret 25 mg Capsule to help tailor treatment based on severity, body response, and tolerability.

• Severe psoriasis
• Disabling psoriasis needing systemic treatment
• Psoriatic skin plaques and scaling
• Other serious keratinization disorders as prescribed

• Swallow Aceret 25 mg Capsule whole with water; do not crush, chew, or open it.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, usually with a meal or milk if your doctor advises, since food can affect how it is absorbed.
• Take the capsule at the same time each day if your prescriber sets a regular schedule.
• Do not take extra capsules to make up for a missed dose unless your doctor tells you to.
• Avoid alcohol during treatment and for the time period your doctor recommends after stopping, because it can increase the risk of a long-lasting metabolite forming in the body.
• Use only the dose and duration your doctor prescribes; Aceret 25 mg Capsule is not an over-the-counter beauty supplement.

Each Aceret 25 mg Capsule provides 25 mg of acitretin. The doctor decides the dosing schedule based on the condition being treated and how you respond; some patients may take it once daily, while others may need an adjusted regimen using available strengths. The maximum daily dose is set by the prescriber and should not be exceeded without medical guidance.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
