is it bad for me to take whey protein and creatine while on accutane?

Accepted Answer

I don't advise it.: Accutane already has the potential to cause liver and kidney damage and should not be taken lightly or without close monitoring. High protein and creatine powders add an extra layer of stress to your system &amp;  could cause dehydratiion.   In the long run, it takes time and hard work to build muscle, and you only need modest protein in your diet to supply that.
