Can the Drug Isotretinoin Change the Affects of Blood Alcohol Content on a Blood Alcohol Concentration Test?

Question

Thank you for your question. Isotretinoin should not change the blood alcohol content. The reason why drinking alcohol is cautioned while on Isotretinoin is because the medication can affect the liver enzymes by raising them. Alcohol can also raise these same enzymes which can indicate damage to the liver.  I hope this helps.

No, Isotretinoin would have no affect on BAC. It's not an alcohol or alcohol-derivative, so it would have zero affect on blood alcohol concentrations for testing.
