Abstract | Background: Daily supplementation with vitamin B12 and folate, which are the cofactors of the enzymatic reactions involved in Hcy metabolism, can lower plasma levels of Hcy and prevent osteoporosis induced by retinoid. Case presentation: We reported six patients with nodulocystic acne who reported musculoskeletal pain after taking isotretinoin which successfully treated with daily supplementation of folic acid and B12. Conclusion: We suggest our colleagues consider these supplements when a patient suffers from musculoskeletal pain following starting isotretinoin and continue the treatment as well. In the end, the authors concluded that robust trials with more patients are needed to establish the efficacy of Vit B12 and folic acid in the treatment of isotretinoin induced musculoskeletal pain. |
