    oral medication for severe psoriasis, derived from vitamin A

    Acitretin, also known by the brand name Soriatane, is an oral medication primarily used to treat severe psoriasis, a chronic skin condition. It is a retinoid, which means it is derived from vitamin A and works by normalizing the growth of skin cells, thereby reducing the scaling and thickening associated with psoriasis.
