A member asked:
Hypothetically speaking, can large doses of vit a work the same as accutane? and how much vit a would you need a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
While this may be true, i would discourage attempting to obtain the same effects of Accutane by taking vitamin A as it is difficult to dose this way and the toxicity it causes may be harmful.
