Finasteride and isotretinoin uasge
I'm taking finasteride 1mg daily for my pattern hair loss. I'm also started taking isotretinoin 5mg for my cystic acne which occurs for a while. I take isotretinoin for few weeks which I usually do and leave it after the acne subsides. Does both the drug interact with each other?.is it okay to use two drugs at same time?
