NEW YORK -- October 21, 2008 -- Alitretinoin (Toctino) has received national regulatory approval in France for adults with severe chronic refractory hand eczema unresponsive to potent topical corticosteroids.

Pregnancy is a contraindication to alitretinoin therapy and strict pregnancy prevention measures must be in place for all women of child-bearing potential who receive alitretinoin.

In clinical trials alitretinoin was well tolerated and has a safety profile overall consistent with the retinoid class. Side effects were generally dose-dependent and reversible.
