Will drinking alcohol while on Accutane affect how it works on clearing my skin?

Question

Will it work as well as it would without drinking alcohol?

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

Drinking alcohol will not affect your Accutane. What happens is that both are processed in your liver, like everything you eat, drink, and take. Pills and liquor make your liver work harder. So drinking a lot while taking Accutane doesn't affect the medication's efficacy, but it does affect your liver. So, if you drink while taking Accutane, please do so in moderation only!
