About Acrotac 10 mg Capsule Acrotac 10 mg Capsule is used to treat psoriasis. Psoriasis is an autoimmune (immune system attacks healthy cells) skin disorder in which the skin becomes scaly, swollen, and itchy. It mostly affects the knee, elbows, scalp, and trunk. It is a lifelong condition, and treatment is given to remove affected skin cells and avoid flare-ups of the disease. Acrotac 10 mg Capsule contains Acitretin, which belongs to the class of retinoids derived from vitamin A. It has anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative (decreases skin cell multiplication) properties. It works by slowing down the progression of the disease. It reduces the speed of skin cell growth and gradually clears the affected skin. It helps reduce the redness, scaling, and thickness of psoriasis rashes.
