I am starting accutane 20 mg a day for 6 months. my triglycerides are slightly elevated because i am overweight. can i take sillymarin 200 mg during?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably ok: The Silymarin would probably be ok with the accutane, but a much safer and more effective treatment of high triglycerides is to change to a low carbohydrate diet. Please look at my check list on How to eat a Low Carb Diet.
