This week we cover isotretinoin (Accutane)—one of the strongest acne treatments available. Many patients think their medication “isn’t working,” but in reality, it’s often about how they’re taking it.

We explain why isotretinoin should always be taken with a fatty meal to ensure proper absorption. Without this, the body may only absorb a fraction of the dose, leading to poor results and frustration.

You’ll learn:

• How food impacts absorption of isotretinoin

• Why skipping fat with your dose can make treatment seem like it’s failing

• Simple tips to maximize effectiveness and avoid a “wasted” round

This session focuses on helping patients get the most out of their treatment the first time around.
