Medicine Description unitrin-uae 25 mg
unitrin 25 mg 30 capsules - rosheta uae is a medication that contains acitretin, a retinoid derivative of vitamin A. Its primary mechanism of action involves modulating the growth and differentiation of skin cells. Acitretin works by binding to specific retinoid receptors in the skin, which alters gene expression involved in keratinization. This reduces the production of keratin, leading to normalized skin cell turnover and a decrease in the formation of hyperkeratotic plaques commonly seen in psoriasis. Additionally, acitretin has anti-inflammatory properties that can further improve skin lesions.
