Accutane and Sports Training

External Since: Feb 16, 2004 Posts: 4

I have heard of recommendations that alcohol shouldn't be taken whilst going
on accutane. Is there any other things that should/shouldnt be done. i.e.
what about serious sports training. I train at quite a high intensity level
70%+ of max heart rate for on average 2 hours per day. Would accutane impair
my performance or have any other side affects.

thanks.

Technically you should ask the derm, but I weight trained heavily (and still
do) during my course. I was lucky that I wasn't tainted with all the nasty
rumors of ~KILLER~ side effects because the only thing in my life that
changed was having to take 3 pills a day. I drank, smoked, and engaged in
all sorts of "illicit" activities while on it. I mountain biked, scuba
dived, flew kites and everything. Smile

Really ask the derm though.
