Abstract
Systemic therapies used in psoriasis such as methotrexate, PUVA, cyclosporine, and acitretin often have side effects that limit their usefulness. Combination therapy, an effective strategy for treating psoriasis, allows use of lower doses of medications to achieve superior therapeutic results with fewer side effects. Acitretin is one of the most popular drugs used in combination with other systemic therapies for psoriasis. Details of the regimens used and results obtained from combining acitretin with PUVA, cyclosporine, and methotrexate are discussed.
