What's Allowed While Taking Accutane?

gsvera2
I'm about to start Accutane treatment within the next month and just had a few questions: 1)Is alchol (in moderation) allowed while taking Accutane? 2) Does taking Accutane affect working out at the gym or running? 3) As part of my working out, I drink protein shakes which also contain vitamin A. Is it okay to continue protein shakes while taking Accutane?
