   Accutane and Sports (Acne board)

29th July 2005
I'm thinking about taking a second course of accutane, but I have some concerns. Last time I took it I was recovering from knee surgery so there wasn't much I could do for several months. This time around I will be playing very competative rugby and I could see a few problems arising.

1. I heard accutane can slow down your healing/muscle recovery time.
2. I take a fair ammount of anti-imflamitories (Aleve, Advil, etc.) when playing sports and I know they're a little hard on your kidneys as it is.

The first time I took accutane (4 years ago) I remember the side effects only really bothered me for the first two months. I'm wondering if there's any creative way I can distribute the dosages to minimize the conflict with sports . . .
