Etretinate
Etretinate (Tegison®) is a medication used to treat severe psoriasis. It was removed from the US market in 1998 and the Canadian market in 1996, due to the high risk of birth defects.
Precautions
Eteretinate is a teratogen, and may cause birth defects long after use. Therefore, etretinate should only be used if one is never to get pregnant.
