Can Roaccutane, Glucophage And Diane 35 Be Taken Together?

Posted on Wed, 4 May 2016

Question: Is it okay for me to start taking Roaccutane and Glucophage and Diane (birth control pills) all at once?
I have bad skin conditions and my period is irregular due to hormonal imbalances (I have polycystic ovaries but very minor)
My plan was to take the Roaccutane after lunch then take the Glucophage a few hours (3 hours) later then take the birth control pill before going to bed.
This is what my dermatologist recommended and my gynecologist agrees on me taking the Roaccutane with the birth control pills. (But not sure about the Glucophage)
Is this okay?

As reaccutane cause increased blood sugar levels, you can take glucophage to regulate your menses.
But you should not get pregnant during when you we're on this drug.
