Is Acitretin 10 Mg Capsule Available In Both Brown/white And Green/white Colour?

I am taking ACITRETIN, a retinoid for a skin condition. I have received two different 10 mg capsules which are different. I am concerned the second prescription may not be correct as it does not look like the description I find online. One is brown/white and the second is green/white. Are they the same??

Hi,

I have gone through your query.
Acitretin 10 mg is available in Brown and white colored capsule. But it also available in green and white. You have to look for imprint over the capsule.
If TEVA 1135 is written on it, then it is also Acitretin.
You should have mentioned the imprints on both the capsules.


Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
