Can I drink alcohol if I am taking Accutane?

Thank you for your question!

Indeed, Accutane is a drug that is quite "hard" on the liver. It is therefore strongly recommended to avoid other medications and substances that would also be harmful, such as alcohol..

That being said, there is no recommended or proven safe amount to take when taking this medication: since the effects of the medication on the liver are known and fairly well established, it would not be ethical to encourage the consumption of alcohol at the same time.

I hope I have been helpful and remain available if you have any further questions!
