Thinning of Hair

Thinning occurs in about 10% of Accutane® users. Usually it is mild and not noticeable to others; it very rarely persists.

Rarely, Accutane® treatment is discontinued due to thinning of the hair.

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