I have a trip coming up where alcohol may be involved, and it happens to be towards the end of my treatment. How long should I wait before consuming alcohol?
While taking Accutane or isotretinoin, there is a possibility of elevated liver enzymes. This can also be caused by other medications or conditions such as viral hepatitis. Excessive or chronic alcohol consumption can also inflame the liver and elevate liver enzymes. It is advisable to avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking any medication that can potentially inflame the liver. If your liver enzymes are within normal limits, you can consume alcohol in moderation. After completing the isotretinoin course and if your liver is normal, you may consume alcohol responsibly if you are of legal drinking age.
Accutane should not have severe effects on your liver even if you consume alcohol, as long as it is done in moderation. Having a drink or two for several days is generally considered safe. However, excessive and prolonged alcohol consumption can pose risks. It is always advisable to exercise moderation and consult with your healthcare provider regarding any specific concerns.
