Accutane hair loss§liver damage
by marceloengler, Apr 13, 2001 12:00AM
I only have 2 questions:
1. Is there anyway to counter attack the hair thinning of Accutane with multi vitamin therapy, medicated shampoos, herbal suplements....?
2. I am taking a pseudo like steroid suplement for Bodybuilding called Nortesten (hope you've heard about it), which is norandrostenediol + norandrostenedione, both have androsten on it. The company says it is broken down on your liver. If I take Accutane with that, am I increasing the chances of causing liver damage or raising by Trig and cholesterol levels?
Sincerely
Michael
