I went out drinking last night and I'm on Accutane, should I worry? I'm on 60 Mg of Accutane a day, if this is the only alcohol I consume while on the Accutane do I have anything to worry about?
7 Things You Should Never Do While On Accutane
Answer: Accutane and Alcohol It is not recommended to drink alcohol while on Isotretinoin. This drug is metabolized by the liver and we monitor this monthly with lab tests to be sure the liver is handling the extra load. It is also important to avoid other medications or drugs that are metabolized by the liver ie: Acetaminophen products and fat soluble vitamins especially Vitamin A.

Answer: I would not drink while on accutane Accutane is metabolized by the liver and can raise liver tests if a high dose is used. I use low dose accutane so I rarely ever see this. Drinking alcohol can potentially raise the liver tests if done frequently while someone is on accutane.

Answer: Accutane and Alcohol If this is the only alcohol you consumed while on Accutane, I don't think you did much harm.Since alcohol and Accutane are both metabolized by the liver, it's not wise to do both at the same time.But we're all human and some patients continue to drink while they take Accutane. I have to warn them against that and it's best in my opinion to follow that advice.If I had a patient I knew was binge drinking while on Accutane, I would probably discontinue therapy, following my primary responsibility to my patient's general health.
