Tegison (generic name etretinate) is a medication used to treat severe psoriasis and other skin disorders. It is known to cause birth defects and can stay in the body for up to three years after treatment. For this reason, anyone who has taken Tegison is permanently deferred from donating blood or plasma. Accutane (isotretinoin), Avodart (dutasteride), and Proscar (finasteride) are also medications that can cause temporary or indefinite deferral, but not necessarily permanent deferral.
