Concomitant Administration Of Vitamin E Does Not Change The Side Effects Of Isotretinoin As Used In Acne Vulgaris
By A J Jackson


Summary of research:

Isotretinoin treatment is frequently associated with reversible, dose - related side effects. Recent studies claimed that combining vitamin E with high - dose isotretinoin ameliorated isotretinoin - induced side effects.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this double - blind, randomized study was to determine the effects of a fixed dose of vitamin E on the side effects of isotretinoin for treatment - resistant vulgaris.

The researchers methods: One hundred forty subjects were randomly assigned to one of two treatment programs with isotretinoin ( 1 mg / kg ) together with either vitamin E ( 800 IU / day ) or a vitamin E placebo for 20 weeks. The incidence, severity,

and duration of the side effects ( eg, dry eyes, dry lips ) were assessed.

The outcome of this Research: A fixed 800 IU / day dose of vitamin E did not improve the incidence, severity, or duration of side effects associated with isotretinoin ( 1 mg / kg per day ).

The report's conclusion: Vitamin E did not significantly ameliorate retinoid side effects when combined with 1 mg / kg of isotretinoin in the treatment of Acne.

Report Title: Concomitant administration of vitamin E does not change the side effects of isotretinoin as used in vulgaris: a randomized trial.
