Sorid 10 mg Capsule

Sorid 10 mg Capsule is a prescription medicine that contains 10 mg of acitretin in each capsule. It belongs to the oral retinoid class and is used for severe skin conditions, especially psoriasis, when other treatments have not worked well enough. Sorid 10 mg Capsule helps reduce thick, scaly skin by slowing down the overgrowth of skin cells. Because it is an acitretin capsule, it must be used only under a doctor’s supervision.

How it works: Acitretin works by changing how skin cells grow and shed, which helps slow the buildup of thick, flaky plaques. In capsule form, Sorid 10 mg Capsule delivers the medicine through the digestive tract so it can reach the bloodstream and act on the skin.

Sorid 10 mg Capsule is the lower-strength capsule in this product line, which can make it easier for a doctor to adjust treatment step by step. Doctors may choose Sorid 10 mg Capsule when they want a smaller acitretin dose for people who need a cautious start, need dose titration, or are more sensitive to retinoid side effects. Even at 10 mg, it is still a potent prescription retinoid and is not a mild over-the-counter skin product.

• Swallow Sorid 10 mg Capsule whole with a full glass of water; do not crush, chew, or open it.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, usually once daily or as directed by your doctor.
• Take the capsule with food or milk if your prescriber recommends it, since food can help absorption and stomach comfort.

• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Sorid 10 mg Capsule provides 10 mg of acitretin. The doctor decides how often it should be taken, and treatment may be started at a lower daily amount and adjusted based on response and side effects. The exact maximum daily dose is individualized by the prescriber and should not be exceeded without medical advice.

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