Accutane is vitamin A derivative prescribed to treat acne. Do not drink alcohol while you are taking ISOtretinoin. You may have unpleasant side effects such as fast heartbeats, warmth or redness under your skin, tingly feeling, nausea, and vomiting. ref: https://www.drugs.com/food-interactions/isotretinoin.html#

Around 15% of patients who are on Accutane develop abnormal liver tests, and this can be worsened by drinking alcohol. You should not drink alcohol at all if taking accutane. Good luck.
