vs

Security Level
Moderate, Consider therapy modification
Mechanism
Contraceptives (Progestins): Acitretin may diminish the therapeutic effect of Contraceptives (Progestins). Contraceptive failure is possible.
Management
Given the potential for progestin-only preparations to fail to prevent pregnancy during acitretin therapy, such products should not be relied upon. Alternative, nonhormonal forms of contraception must be employed during acitretin therapy.
