The liver is the bodies recycling center. It has elaborate chemical pathways to break down drugs into non-toxic components before they are excreted in bile. It also builds specialized body proteins. Accutane has a tendency to injure the liver cells in some patients. If you use any drug or alcohol that competes with/overloads the chemical disposal pathways you increase damage risk.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
