A member asked:

I'm taking 10 mg accutane a day and i want to take a multivitamin but it has 1500 microgram of a vitamin in a daily dose of it. would it be dangerous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be fine: That's the same amount as the equivalent in a big carrot. Ask your dematologist just to be triple-sure.

Half a year ago I took accutane for three days at 30 mg a day. I found out that it can cause irreversible epiphyseal closure. I looked into it and it was associated with chronic vitamin a toxicity. Am I safe from the side effect, havegrownaninchsince?
