Can I Take Accutane and Hair Regrowth Treatments Concurrently?

October 8, 2011
Asked By:haowarde in New York, New York

Hello everyone. I think I've been "blessed" with my father's hereditary inclination for hair thinning/loss. While I've noticed a slow retreat, I feel like my Accutane treatment has exacerbated my hair's departure. I've read that hair loss is an uncommon but documented effect of Accutane and that in most cases hair regrows after treatment. BUT, I'd like to ask if there was anything I could do to prevent more loss while on Accutane. i.e. Can I take Accutane and Minoxodil together? Many thanks.
