Continuity of Medication on Shabbat

Question

Is it permissible to take Curatane/Roaccutane on Shabbat (this is a medication that reduces acne)? Basically, it must be taken every day and cannot be stopped. Is there an issue on Shabbat?

Answer

Hello,

If continuity is necessary, it is permissible to take it on Shabbat.
