Lowered Red or White Blood Cells or Platelets

These typically would be detected with the routine blood tests that are performed while you take Accutane®. Usually the changes are minimal and are of no consequence as long as you are being properly followed by your doctor.

In the unlikely event the levels go too low, your doctor may need to adjust the Accutane® dose or stop it.

FDA precaution: Avoid supplemental vitamin A while taking Accutane. ebA* (*everything but "A") Multivitamin Supplement contains no
vitamin A.
