So I've currently been put on isotretinoin tablets. I have been taking a lot of supplements on the side, and I just got to know that I'm not supposed to take Vitamin A supplements along with this. I was also taking omega 3, zinc, and biotin supplements along with that. I would like to know if it's safe, and would also like to know more about isotretinoin in detail.

Isotretinoin is a form of vitamin A. It reduces the amount of oil released by oil glands in your skin, and helps your skin renew itself more quickly. Isotretinoin is used to treat severe nodular acne that has not responded to other treatments, including antibiotics.
