Vitamins & Roaccutane?

akila

Hi all,

Just a quick question... I'm on Roaccutane three months now. Was back with my Derm today & asked if I could take any vitamins / supplements that might combat the serious exhaustion that I'm feeling lately (about the last two months!) despite having a minimum of 8 hours sleep per night.

He said that I could take a vitamin, but couldn't recommend anything in particular. I know to stay away from anything containing Vit A, so I contemplated Berocca. However, 'Dr Google' suggests that you shouldn't take both
Initially, I was told I'd be on it for about six months... But today there was talk of a twelve month course - so I definitely can't cope with the tiredness for another nine months or so!

Anyway, just wondering if anyone can suggest a vitamin that they took while on Roaccutane that didn't have any major interaction?

Thanks,
Akila

hey akila, as far as i know most multivits have vitamin A in them, id say your best bet would be to pop into your local pharmacy and have a chat with the pharmacist, they should be able to steer you in the right direction

Ah... Obviously I didn't have my weetabix this morning, as that hadn't even occured to me! Thanks

yep, you need to speak with a pharmacist or doc about this
