Abstract
Oral alitretinoin (9-cis retinoic acid) is an endogenous retinoid related to vitamin A. Studies have shown that oral alitretinoin is effective and well-tolerated in the treatment of severe chronic hand eczema, so that it is approved for this indication. This review summarizes new studies and clinical experience on the off-label use of alitretinoin.Entities:
