A member asked:

How much fat are you suppose to take with accutane pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Relax: Just take with food if possible. If you sometimes take without food it is OK. Absorption of this med is most efficient if taken with food. But it is absorbed enough without food to bring a very good result anyway.
