Hello, Finasteride works for hair and isotretinoin is mostly given for acne. Both can sometimes interact , so monitoring your liver parameters is of paramount importance. If you can pls stop finasteride until you complete course of isotretinoin. And also drugs like finasteride should not be taken as over the counter drugs, that is in case you are taking it without a doctor's prescription
