In this article, we will discuss Alitretinoin (Photosensitivity). So, let’s get started.
Retinoids as a class have been associated with photosensitivity. There were no reports of photosensitivity associated with the use of Alitretinoin gel in the clinical studies. Nonetheless, because in vitro data indicate that 9-cis-retinoic acid may have a weak photosensitizing effect, patients should be advised to minimize exposure of treated areas to sunlight and sunlamps during the use of Alitretinoin gel.
