A member asked:
Is there a certain time you should take accutane? i take it in the afternoon ith food, absorica 20mg once a day

Your choice: While there are many restrictions on and hazards involved in taking this powerful and effective medication, you may take this at the time of day that seems best to you. Most people prefer to take it with food and there's one pharmacologic study that suggests it's better absorbed with at least some food, so this would be wise. Ask your physician whether to continue your other meds.
