Im using isdiben 10 mg, it is to help acne but the doctor said i can't drink alcohol.how long do i have to stop taking them to before drinking alcohol?

probably a week: Am concerned if your desire to drink is stronger than your wish to get rid of your acne, which i assume is severe since you are on this medication. Alcohol itself is not a good drug for your skin, and may worsen acne as well. Talk to the prescribing doctor - that should be your first resource, not online strangers.
