| marceloengler 4/13/2001 | . | I only have 2 questions: 1. Is there anyway to counter attack the hair thinning of Accutane with multi vitamin therapy, medicated shampoos, herbal suplements....? 2. I am taking a pseudo like steroid suplement for Bodybuilding called Nortesten (hope you've heard about it), which is norandrostenediol + norandrostenedione, both have androsten on it. The company says it is broken down on your liver. If I take Accutane with that, am I increasing the chances of causing liver damage or raising by Trig and cholesterol levels? Sincerely Michael |
| Derm-M.D.-ASR 4/13/2001 | marceloengler | I have never seen hair loss from Accutane. I'm sure it can happen, but it isn't common. No way to prevent it that I know of, though. I don't know about the supplements. If your doctor is checking blood, it shouldn't be a problem, though. Ask your doctor (and the manufacturer.) Best. Dr. Rockoff | [Thread closed to new comments] |
