Best Answer

You take your prescribed dosage (anywhere from 10-80mg/day) with a meal. Half of the drug is absorbed through fat so you need to take the pills with fat, like a glass of milk.

Can you take diet supplements such as Hoodia while on accutane?

There are anecdotal reports of weight loss while taking accutane for acne. You should read carefully the information that is available on the Internet regarding diet while on accutane. Generallly speaking, you need to avoid foods that will increase the intake of the retenoid form of Vitamin A -- liver and dairy (milk and cheese) while on accutane. Otherwise, you are likely to increase the undesired side effects. Take a careful look at what is in the "hoodia" supplement you are taking. Consult your physician or pharmacist if you have any further questions.


What are the dangers of a 7 month pregnant women be prescribed accutane?

I find it unbelievable that your doctor prescribed it to you and knows you are pregnant. If the prescription is not for you you should not take it even if you are not pregannt. When pregnant you only take what the doctor say is safe. What it says at Drugs.com;Accutane can cause severe, life-threatening birth defects if the mother takes the medication during pregnancy. Even one dose of Accutane can cause major birth defects of the baby's ears, eyes, face, skull, heart, and brain. Never use Accutane if you are pregnant.
