"i have been on accutane more than once. in canada my sister has been taking it in low dose for years - rules are different there. i take b to zinc vitamins to maintain my health while on accutane. watch what you&#039;re eating too. lots of stuff contains added vitamin a - some milk, cereals, etc. that may be the cause for some bad side effects in some people. they may be boosting the strength of their accutane by eating added vitamin a in their diets."
