Accutane Doses and Length of Course

Accutane Doses and Length of Course

Hello,
I'm a 27 year old female and I've started on a course of Accutane through my GP (not a dermatologist). I've been on 20mg for the first month with very minimal side effects and have just started on 40mg for this second month. I weigh 72kgs or 158lbs and am wanting to find out what is the highest dose I can go up to on the Accutane and how long I should be at this high dose for.

I'm asking this because I really only ever want to take Accutane once and would like to be agressive with the treatment dosages and length of the course in order to give me the best chance of remission.

Any advice/information you can give me would be so greatly appreciated as I can't afford to see a dermatologist (hence why I am doing my accutante treatment with my GP).

Kind Regards.
