 Acitretin
Acitretin (trade name Soriatane or Neotigason) is a second-generation retinoid. It is taken orally, and is typically used for psoriasis. It is a metabolite of etretinate, which was used prior to the introduction of acitretin. Etretinate was discontinued because it had a narrow therapeutic index as well as a long elimination half-life (t1/2=120 days), making dosing difficult. In contrast, acitretin's half-life is approximately 2 days. Because acitretin can be reverse metabolised into etretinat...

Retin A Cream
I live in Brisbane Australia and am beside myself as I have been told by 'Johnson Pacific' that my precious 'Retin A' cream 0.5% manufactured by Janssen-Cilag has been globally discontinued. 'Retrieve' does not compare for me- it is made with a different base product, I have tried it and it does not work for me the way Retin A cream does. I have been using Retin A cream for over 20 years, originally for pimples, which is great- but the way it keeps my skin looking so clear, fresh and unmarked is amazing (I stay out of the sun)-i depend on this cream so much; does anyone know what the equivalent could be here in Australia or Over-Seas. Thanks. ## Retrieve is the next best thing, there is a brand called SteviA or something along those lines but it's hard to fin... ...

Nepretin tablets,Blueberry Extract Table3ts
Free over the counter drugs for the treatment of Diabetic retinopathy ## Well, first, these are not drugs, they are supplements, which means they are claimed, but not proven to actually help with anything. As to the Nepretin, other than to say it is all natural, the company doesn't even list what's in it. The information available on their site just says antioxidants. Blueberry Extract tablets would fall under the same category, they have antioxidant properties. If you are diabetic and taking prescription medications, then it is very important that you check with your doctor, before taking any of these. Are there any comments or questions? ...

tocoderm acida retinoico
retinoic acid cream 0.050% ## I believe the retinoic acid cream you are referring to comes from Mexico. Retin-A would probably be the closest equivalent in the U.S. if that's what you are searching for. Retinoic acid assists communication between cells, which helps encourage aging cells to continue their renewal process, and rebuild collagen and elastin to prevent the appearance of aging skin, wrinkles and fine lines. Retinoic Acid is used to treat various different cancers and severe acne. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Retin A Details I hope the info helps! ...
