Can I take hair vitamins with Isotretinoin?

lini95Sep 29, 2016
I've just started week 4 on accutane, for over a week I take 10mg per day. After only 2 weeks on 20mg my doctor reduced my dose to 10mg, and we will continue the course on this dose. My question now is, can I take following hair vitamin with accutane? The vitamin contains: Vitamin A 2500 NE, Vitamin C 50mg, Vitamin D3 50 NE, Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, all 3mg, Vitamin B12 10mcg, Vitamin B5 50mcg, Ca-lactate gluconate 110mg, Biotin 2000mcg, folic acid 100mcg. (2 pills per day). Thank you!
