manofperfection 0 Posted June 24, 2007 i heard st johns wort is a major NOOOOO! read it up. In fact i think it says right on the accutane pack. whey and the oils should be find but cut out the rest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wynne 129 Posted June 24, 2007 Safest thing to do is ask your doc. My choice would be to not use anything extra I don't absolutely need to survive to minimize the risk to the liver. St. John's Wort has the warning on the Accutane box because it decreases the effectiveness of birth control pills. Since your name is David, I am guessing you won't need to worry about birth control pills. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David A 0 Posted June 24, 2007 how long have you been takling liquid chlorophyll? Just a couple months not daily or anything just every couple days. Safest thing to do is ask your doc. My choice would be to not use anything extra I don't absolutely need to survive to minimize the risk to the liver. St. John's Wort has the warning on the Accutane box because it decreases the effectiveness of birth control pills. Since your name is David, I am guessing you won't need to worry about birth control pills. Ya I'm a guy, and I did remember reading that it was only because of birth control. Although I really don't want to get pregnant while on this stuff. Maybe I should stop taking it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David A 0 Posted June 28, 2007 I asked my doctor about taking supplements and stuff and all she had to say was just take a multivitamin if I want.... Isn't that the one thing I don't want to take because of the vitamin a? I don't take one and don't plan to take one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
