I'm on accutane. is there any interactions between antibacterial eye drops and accutane?i'm having styes & i need to use antibacterial eye drops.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No interactions: If you are having styes, trying using local heat with a very warm water soaked washcloth. Do this 5-6 times per day. Antibacterial eyedrops generally have no effect on a stye. They will not interact with Accutane however.
