A member asked:
Is eating foods that have derived from alcohol or having been extracted using alcohol count as alcohol while off accutane? will i relapse with acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alcohol interacts : with so many meds and supplements that it's best not to combine it with anything, specifically since Accutane has an Antabuse (disulfiram) effect while taking alcohol that could make you feel really sick to your stomach. Also,it will make Accutane less effective. Two negatives. So since you want Accutane to work, it's best to go alcohol-free for now.
