Hi,
I was just wondering - how bad is accutane for the liver? Is it really necessary to stop drinking alcohol while on accutane? I am going on a one week vacationVacation health care at an all inclusive resort, and was wondering if I would be able to indulge in some drinks, and maybe if it was better to stop the accutane for the week while i was on vacationVacation health care.
You should be having regularRegular insulin liver function tests whilst on Accutane and your doctor will advise you if any action is necessary due to the results.
I went to an all inclusive resort in Mexico whilst on Accutane. I did drink a small amount of alcohol (my liver function tests were normal preceeding this). Take care in the sun though, even though I stayed in the shade and wore sunblock I still got burned :(

It won't make any difference if you stop the Accutane for a week. Accutane has a long half life and stays in your body for up to 5 weeks after your last dose. Therefore associated risks will not lessen until this time has passed.
