I take acuutane.. should i take milk thistle to preserve my liver? and will it cross ? will my liver come back to normal after im done with accutane?

Controversial: Milk thistle has been reported to help the liver recover from inflammation but has not been well-tested with regard to Accutane tx. Usually, though , any stress to the liver is removed when Accutane is discontinued.
