Accutane Dosage
by Redlocks767, May 19, 2008 08:25AM
Hi,
My son is on Accutane for 4 months now, going on 5. He had moderate acne since he was 14 and he is now 19. He weighs about 145 and is now taking 60 mg. He is still breaking out not as bad though. He wants to increase the dosage but doc said no last time because of back pain. What does back pain indicate? Would it be harmful to increase the dosage to 80mg. What is a common and effective dosage?
Thanks,
Worried Mom
