Accutane dosage

Accutane dosage

I took accutane pills in 2007 and they worked wonderfully.  However, acne has returned to haunt me.  I am now 28 years old and am 130 lbs.  I will not be going back to my old dermatologist, but I would like to take accutane or a generic isotretinoin pill (if this is just as effective).  What is the proper dosage I should follow?  I can't remember what my doctor recommended back in 2007.

Hi there!

Isotretenoin/ Accutane has potential side effects and should not be taken without medical advice. Also, when recommended the dosage and duration of treatment needs to be crafted on individual basis. It would be best to consult a primary care physician or a dermatologist for the same.


Take care!

Thank you so much, I am afraid you are correct.  I will consult a dermatologist here in town.
