Abstract
Oral therapy with Alitretinoin (9-cis-retinoic acid, Toctino(®) ) was recently marketed for the treatment of chronic hyperkeratotic hand eczema. Since Alitretinoin is highly lipophilic and mainly metabolized in the liver, it is currently considered to be contraindicated in patients with liver disease. However, the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of Alitretinoin have not yet been studied in these patients.
