The Acitretin was good for me. I don't remember the dry lips and nose lasting long. I had to have 3 monthly fasting blood tests to check on my liver and cholesterol level, but other than that just a 6 monthly check up. I was never totally clear of the psoriasis but could fluctuate between 25 mg per day to 50 mg to keep it in check. Only trouble was that only when they found bone spurs on my spine was I told I shouldn't have been on it so long and I should have had annual x-Ray's to check my spine. Worth asking about that if it hasn't been mentioned to you before.
Hope that helps.
Mark
Cheers Mark
No the xray bit has never been mentioned. Due back at Dermy in about a months time so will be asking.
