A member asked:
What to do if i am on my last month of isotretinoin (acutane) and i want to start to take beta carotene, can i take them when i'm on acutane?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't: There's no health benefits to beta carotene in this situation. Both are of course related to vitamin A and there are a few unknowns. Congratulations on completing your course of isotretinoin -- it's not for the faint-hearted and chances are it's been of huge benefit to you. Best wishes.
