Question
Shalom. A person who takes the medication Roaccutane every day – is he allowed to take it also on Shabbat and Yom Tov if the treatment needs to be continuous? Also, what is the halachah regarding taking other medications on Shabbat and Yom Tov?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
Any treatment that requires continuity may be taken on Shabbat.
A pill that is taken once a day can usually be taken a bit before Shabbat and a bit after it, but if continuity at a specific time is needed, it is permitted.
Consequently, pills that are taken more than once a day and require continuity may be taken on Shabbat.
