Bone thinning

2022-10-17 06:04:29
Hello I am on isotetronin 20mg treatment for acne since 6 months and still I have to continue 4 more months, I was curious about my bone healthy as I got to know isotetronin is a form of vitamin A which if taken for prolonged period of more than 10,000 mgc per day would cause bone thinning, is there any tests I must undergo to observe my bone health???
