dp13368 0 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I am about to start accutane this week and have a few questions...Is there any quality difference between name brand accutane and generic brand?What is the approx. mg per pound or kg of body weight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FloorMat 0 Share Posted October 17, 2004 No difference between the two, average is 1 mg/kgYou're supposed to take it twice a day though (so, if you weigh 175 lbs, or 80kg, you would take 40mg twice a day) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dookie 0 Share Posted October 18, 2004 How about taking 40mg for a longer period than taking 80mg for the prescribed period? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
