This is probably retarded to ask but I've heard mixed things about it, people saying that they didn't experience anything when talking accutane and beta carotene

But I thought there would be way too much vitamin A right?

Dumb question but lmk pls
 
Solution
Accutane is synthetic retinoid structurally related to vitamin A but not a direct source of it.
It's a Vit-A derivative & potent in retnoic activity, it isn't just a bunch of vit-A.

And beta carotene is precursor of vit-A
Slow release and according to needs.

So you're good

I have been on it before at 40mg and was fine but I stopped my beta carotene use

I wanna get it prescribed again at 10mg and I'll keep using beta carotene, thanks for the answer, you and Godveil Heir Godveil Heir

Sorry, was in the shower but yes
If acne came back then I would do a second course but with a lower dosage and for a way longer period of time.
