Have I taken enough accutane for my weight? I'm 53 kg and 5ft 5? 20mg daily for 11 months

Question

Clemens Esche, MD · Answer

In my opinion, you are 25 mg / kg short of your ideal cumulative dose of isotretinoin.Around 80% of patients who receive a total dose of 120 mg / kg relapse, while only 30% of patients with a total dose of 150 mg / kg relapse.Thus, the dose over one course of treatment should be at least 120 mg / kg body weight and ideally 150 mg/kg body weight.20 mg daily x 30 days (1 month) x 11 months = 6,600 mg cumulative dose divided by 53 kg = 125 mg total dose.
