I'm currently on Isotretinoin - the Claravis brand. I take two capsules (each 30 mg) adding to 60mg a day. I usually take it with a cup of water (as advised) after I eat dinner. Every few months I water fast for religious and personal reasons. As I started taking the pill about 2 months and 10 days ago, and am just now questioning whether or not I'll be able to do this fast. Is it possible to fast while taking Isotretinoin?Thanks!
