Just want to get some advice on how much accutane i should be taking.

Male

85kg

21 y/o

My derm told me my first day id be on accutane for 5 months.

Was on 40mg for first 2 months,followed by 80mg for month 3 & 4 and am currently awaiting my next derm visit.

What dosage will i need for month 5 in order to fulfill my comulative dosage?

Im thinking 160mg but am not sure and would be very grateful if someone could help me out.

Cheers.

You'll need 114 mg/day to 185 mg/day (for 125 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg respectively). I don't know if your dermatologist will want to prescribe a dose that high. You might want to talk to him/her about extending your course another month. Best of luck!
