Divide your weight by 2.2 to get kg. Take the kg and multiply by 125. What you come up with is the total number of mg's needed. Divide that by 80, and that gives you how many days you will be on Accutane

that can't be right
OK if I was on 80 mg per day @ 120 pounds
say It is 125mg PER KILOGRAM. My daily dosage is most likely around ONE mg per kg.

my weight is 120/2.2 = 54.5454 kg
take the kg 54.5 x 125 = 6812.5 divide by 80 = 85.15 days
