How Can I Prevent Achy Joints from Accutane?

April 15, 2009
Asked By:SteveNYC in New York, NY

I am beginning Accutane treatment in two weeks. My biggest conern is that almost everyone who uses the drug complains about achy joints. I am a professional dancer and have a huge gig coming up in August. Is there anything I can do while taking Accutane that can prevent/lessen this side effect? Are there certain dietary/supplementary changes I should make to ease the process along?
