Can I go juicing on Accutane?

Question

Is it ok to go on a juice fast while taking accutane? I am referring to consuming only juice from a juicer made with fruits and vegetables for an extended period of time. Are there any fruits/vegetables to avoid?

Accutane is best absorbed with higher fat foods, so while it is perfectly safe to juice and take Accutane, you will not be getting the best absorbency for the medication itself. If you want to take a version of Accutane that doesn't require the higher fat content, you should look to take Absorica rather than other Accutane versions like Claravis.
