Soriatane is taken orally with food, usually once a day or as directed by your healthcare professional. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. It is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions closely and not to take more or less of the medication than prescribed.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects include dryness of the lips, mouth, nose, and skin, itching, scaling, and peeling. More serious side effects can include liver enzyme abnormalities, lipid abnormalities, and potential birth defects if taken during pregnancy. It is crucial to discuss these risks with a healthcare provider.

What are the potential interactions?

Soriatane can interact with several other medications. It should not be combined with vitamin A or other retinoids due to the risk of vitamin A toxicity.
