A member asked:
Ii have smoked marijuana 3 times while on accutane. i started my 2nd month of accutane (60mg) today. will the weed affect the way the accutane works?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No interaction but..: Marijuana can interact with many medicines, though most of the interactions are mild consisting of "may increase side effects such as drowsiness and dizziness." There is no known interaction with accutane and it will not affect how it works. HOWEVER, I consider accutane a dangerous drug that should be avoided if possible. There are safer alternatives.
