Can You Take Adderall With Accutane?

What the current labels say

The interaction sections for oral isotretinoin capsules, branded Adderall immediate-release tablets, and branded Adderall XR extended-release capsules do not list the other medicine. The labels therefore do not give instructions for using this exact combination.

Why the exact stimulant product matters

Adderall IR and Adderall XR are different release formulations. These formulation-specific facts cannot be generalized to lisdexamfetamine, dextroamphetamine-only products, illicit amphetamine, non-U.S. formulations, or every stimulant medicine. Bring the exact product name, release form, dose, and indication to the person checking the combination.

Also list prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and herbal supplements. The isotretinoin Medication Guide tells patients not to take other medicines or herbal products during treatment unless they have spoken with their health care provider.

Risks still need medicine-specific review

Both Adderall formulations can elevate blood pressure and heart rate. Your prescriber or pharmacist also needs to consider the warnings and interaction risks attached to your exact stimulant, your symptoms, health history, and the rest of your medication list.

Do not change the dose, timing, release form, or start/stop plan for either medicine without the prescriber or pharmacist managing your treatment.
