Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Neotigasone is acitretin and it is an approved medicine for Psoriasis. This will help you. If you are taking the medicine under supervision of your doctor and if you continue monitoring your blood parameters as advised it should ideally do no harm. When you are on the tablet you should not get pregnant and I am sure your doctor would have counselled you in this regard. Your skin and lips can become dry, so kindly use a moisturizer regularly.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
