So i've been taking accutane for 3 months and almost a week. One 20mg pill once a day(i swallow it with dinner)
Im a 16 year old girl ,height of 1.65, weight 52kg.
In my case, accutane worked magically, my pimples are all gone, my dark marks are almost completely faded, and i'm pretty much all clear except i get 2 or 3 zits here and there every now and then. So i was wondering how much longer i had to take it, i know i should ask my derm but she's on vacation right now, and i didn't want to bother her. Please leave a comment!
Minimum cumulative dose is 120mg/kg.
so
your weight is 52kg x 120
= 6240mg - that's the minimum suggested total dose.
So far, you have taken approx 2000
And need 4240 more, so
4240 20 (Daily dose)
= 212 days.
Obviously you can stop at any time but that's pretty risky and increases the chance of acne coming back.
