I was prescribed isotreitoin for acne, I will have to take them for 50 days. I read that some of the side effects of isotretinoin was possible muscle and joint pain and that strenous exercise should be limited. Can this impact my training? Im about to start the HLM template

This is a fairly rare side effect, and I would not change your training just because you are on a short course of this medication.
