Taking Accutane on an empty stomach is generally recommended. This improves absorption and helps maximize the medication’s effectiveness. However, some individuals experience gastrointestinal discomfort with this approach.
If you find that taking Accutane on an empty stomach causes nausea or upset stomach, try taking it with a small amount of food, such as a cracker or a piece of toast. This can often mitigate the side effects without significantly impacting absorption rates. Always follow your dermatologist’s specific instructions.
Remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially while on Accutane. Adequate hydration supports overall health and can help prevent some common side effects like dry skin and lips. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience severe side effects.
