Question

i drank alcohol 5 days ago, will that show up on an accutane blood test, or will that affect the accutane blood panel ?

Christopher W. Robb, MD, PhD · Answer

unless you drink frequently it wont show up. It's not safe though. Stop doing that if you like your liver and want to enjoy a cocktail after you finish accutane ;)

Rotana Steven Tek, DO · Answer

We generally recommend against taking alcohol with accutane. It will not show on the blood test and don’t bing drink (that’s having more than 4 drinks for women and 5 drinks for men) as it’s generally bad for your health and liver. Elevated liver enzymes do show up if you drink excessive alcohol for a long period of time.

Thank you for your question. Drinking alcohol prior to labs for Accutane may increase your liver enzymes, and I highly recommend you make your dermatologist aware of the alcohol intake. Take care and good luck.
