What is Alitretinoin?

What is Alitretinoin used for?

HANZEMA 10 MG capsules are primarily used for the treatment of severe chronic hand dermatitis in adults who have not responded to other treatments. Alitretinoin, the active ingredient, works by affecting skin cell growth and inflammation. This medication is often considered when topical treatments have proven ineffective, offering an alternative for persistent skin conditions.

Common effects of HANZEMA 10 MG capsules may include skin dryness, itching, and redness. Some users might experience headaches, nausea, or changes in blood lipid levels. These effects can vary among individuals and are not exhaustive. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

What precautions apply to Alitretinoin?

HANZEMA 10 MG capsules should be handled with care, especially during pregnancy, as retinoids can cause birth defects. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor lipid levels. Avoid exposure to sunlight and use sunscreen to protect your skin. Store the medication as directed and keep it out of reach of children.

What does Alitretinoin interact with?

HANZEMA 10 MG capsules may interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungals, and drugs that affect liver enzymes.
