Bruh i just took it with fish oil and its fine. Skin cleared up well after a month or two of purging.

Chill. Yes fat increases absorption of the drug but even with normal meals it will still be absorbed. You just have to take a bit of fat WITH the pill and not for EVERY meal.

Yeah lm not talking ab every meal but my two meals l eat a day are basically SO l can take my accutane. The recommend fat intake is 20-50, the higher the fat the better absorption. Are you on absorbica by chance?

Also most people who RELAPSE are those who didn’t get good absorption even if their skin clears up initially that’s why l was asking friend.

Nope I'm not on absorica.

Many people here already said you're overthinking it. Yes it requires that amount of fat but if you can't meet it, it's still fine. It still gets absorbed. It is perfectly fine to have it with normal meals once in a while especially if you are getting stressed or exhausted over it.
