· Notes for Consumers: If you can become pregnant, do not drink alcohol for 2 months after stopping this medication. Drinking alcohol while taking this medication, or within 2 months after stopping this medication, can cause serious side effects.

· 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. Etretinate has a significantly longer elimination half-life than acitretin and extends the duration of teratogenic potential for patients who may become pregnant beyond 3 years.
