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: Drinking alcohol while on Accutane It is not recommended to drink alcohol while taking Accutane. Alcohol and Accutane are both metabolized by the liver, therefore it's not wise to do both at the same time. If you only drank once while on Accutane it is unlikely that it would have caused permanent damage.

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.
