A member asked:

Im taking accutane and after drinking alchohol receive a dull ache in the side. is this a big concern or a minor side effect? my blood work is fine.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a good mix: It is recommended to not drink alcohol while on accutane. Alcohol and accutane are both toxic to the liver. The combination can result in liver damage.
