A member asked:
Can i poop out accutane (for acne) before it works? i usually poop just after i take accutane.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, that would not: decrease your level of accutane. Medications take time to be absorbed, so having a bowel movement right afterward would have no effect.

I am not sure how this works but I would like to discuss my problem with acne. I have seen multiple dermatologist and have not been happy with the results. I am currently on doxycycline and I use a benzoyl peroxide wash with epiduo and an over the counter spot treatment. I have spoke with my Dr and he thinks I would be a great candidate for Accutane. He wants me to go to another dermatologist but I thought I would try this first. Acne?
