What vitamins can I take while in Accutane?

Question

Hi. I have mild to moderate papular acne. I am on accutane 10mg to try and clear it up fast as I am getting married in 3 months time. I have read that a side effect is hair loss. Can I take hair multi vitamins and evening prim rose oil supplement? They do not contain vitamin A.

Hello and thank you for your question. While on Accutane, you will need to avoid high doses of vitamin A intake. Regarding other supplement intake, I would recommend to consult your board certified primary care practitioner for appropriate options. And as for your skin, I would recommend a consultation with a board certified dermatologist for an evaluation of your skin and discussion of appropriate treatment. Congratulations and best of luck.
