Isotretinoin and Supplement Interaction?

jounin06
Good day doctors. I just started taking 30mg Isotretinoin a couple of days ago. I have several questions that I would like to ask my derma but we won't see each other until after 10days. Can you help me with my questions? My questions are: 1. Is it okay to take Lactoferrin and/or Vitamin C and/or Zinc while I'm on Isotretinoin? 2. Is it normal for you acne to be very itchy while taking Isotretinoin? 3. Can I use tretinoin, salicylic acid and or benzoyl peroxide while taking Isotretinoin? Thanks!
