A member asked:
I worry about absorption of accutane.it's said that you must have high-fat meal for good absorption.is it true?i take accutane with normal daily diet.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Will absorb: Accutane is lipophilic (likes fat) and is absorbed by fat. It will absorb just fine with a normal fat diet. However, the efficacy has been stated to double when taken after a high/moderate fat meal.
