I heard to prevent hair loss, you need to take 3mg of it a day. I'm not sure how that transfers from the mcg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yay, I knew all this ridiculous pharmacology math homework would pay off!! :dance: I take Biotin too...my hair has stayed on my head so far ; ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wibble 1 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Be wary on the biotin, I used to have it in a multivitamin until I realised it was preventing the accutane having the same effect. I was still getting oily, I stopped the biotin sup (switched to a none biotin one) and accutane kicked back in.Just be wary is all, you may be making the accutane less effective, but if the hair loss is significant its worth it (or a lower dose of tane maybe).
