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?

Both these drugs can be taken.. however taken isotretinoin on and off is not going to help you in long run.. it has to be taken as a course for best results and under guidance of dermatologists along with regular blood tests..
get a direct consultation for proper management of acne
