Speak with derm MD: The active ingredient in Accutane is isotretinoin, a retinoid, similar to vitamin a. Patients taking Accutane should not take additional vitamin a supplements since this can cause vitamin a toxicity, including nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, weakness, dry or itchy skin or lips, irritability, or hair loss. Liver is rich in vitamin a, as are orange-yellow-red vegetables, limit intake.
