No, Accutane does not typically cause weight gain. However, it is recommended to take Accutane with higher calorie, fattier foods. If you are not adjusting your diet accordingly, it could potentially lead to weight gain. Please consult with a medical professional for personalized advice. Please note that this response is based on limited information and should not be considered as true medical advice. It is advisable to seek in-person evaluation and treatment from a trained medical professional for appropriate care.
