Have been taking the Acitretin now for 9 days and at the moment side effects seem to be minimal.
I do have a little peeling of the skin around the end of some of my fingers, but it is not excessive.
I have also got a bit of a dry cough at the moment and when I cough I feel some pressure at the base of my skull, which van make me feel quite light headed at times, whether this is relevant to the Acitretin, I'm not sure.
At the moment it has not had a bearing on the Plaque Psoriasis.
Some visible results are expected after about 2 weeks on the tablets.
I am currently on 30mg daily, go back for blood tests in another 2 weeks, followed by my next Derm appointment in 3 weeks.
Keep you posted
