Detailed Answer:
Hi

Since you have been prescribed isotretinoin capsule ,so you can take it either in the morning after breakfast or take it at night after dinner .
In most cases ,this medicine has to be taken regularly for atleast three to four weeks and might have to be continued even longer depending upon the clinical response.

Hope it helps
