    Notes for Professionals: Advise patients who may become pregnant to avoid alcohol-containing beverages and medicines, including over-the-counter products, during and for 2 months after stopping therapy with acitretin. Concurrent ingestion of alcohol and acitretin results in the conversion of acitretin to etretinate.
