Can I take Accutane with hair vitamins?

Question

I'm a 22 year old girl who's currently on Claravis 40mg daily. I'm having trouble with hair dryness and nothing seems to help the state of it. Can I take viviscal with my medication since there is no vitamin A included within it? Or is hair, skin and nails vitamin by nature's bounty okay to use with the amount of vitamin A in it?

David P. Melamed, MD · Answer

Hair loss and dryness while taking isotretinoin is common, and will resolve once you have completed your 15-20 week cycle of treatment.  I recommend taking both Viviscal and a Hair/Skin/Nail vitamin of your choice (capsul are always better). If you can get your hands on a Low Level Laser (e.g. LaserCap) for biostimulations it will be great as well.  20 minutes a day will help in reducing any shedding. Although the dryness may not improve.Are you only taking Claravis 40 mg a day (20mg twice a day)?  How much do you weight?
