Soricap Capsule 10 mg contains Acitretin, an oral retinoid primarily used in the treatment of severe psoriasis and other keratinization disorders. Acitretin is a vitamin A derivative that works by regulating the growth and differentiation of skin cells, helping to reduce scaling, redness, and thickening of the skin.

Soricap is particularly effective for patients with severe plaque psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, or erythrodermic psoriasis who have not responded adequately to topical therapies or phototherapy. Its systemic action helps control widespread skin lesions and prevents disease progression, improving overall skin health and quality of life.
