Drug Interactions

Avoid taking any supplemental vitamin A while taking Accutane® as the two are related and have overlapping side effects (see below).

You may take a multivitamin that does not contain vitamin A, such as ebA* (*everything but “A”®) Multivitamin Supplement®, during your Accutane® course.
