AskMeQ012 0 Posted October 25, 2005 I am an 18 yr. old that weights 150lbs and am on 80mg. for 5 months will I get to the 125 total dose? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
julieta 0 Posted October 25, 2005 it means that you should take 125mg of accutane per kg of body weight. Change lbs to kg to work it out. on the other hand i have taken around 350mg/kg so i dont know whether that rule stands... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beentheredonethat 6 Posted October 25, 2005 In studies, the best chance for remission happened when patients took around 125mg/kg of bodyweight cumulatively in a course. 150lbs is about 68kg. 5 months is about 150 days assuming 30 day months, so your total dosage will be 12,000mg. Divide that by your bodyweight and you have 176mg/kg, plenty for one course. Please check my math. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trizznain 0 Posted October 25, 2005 I have been thinking about this alot lately. When I started my course I was little under 180lbs, I was up to a little above 200, I am currently a little under 200, and I plan on being about 190 by the time I finish my course. How do you think that effects the cumulative dose I am supposed to take? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aceanderson 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Is it bad if your dose ends up being more than 125? Mine worked out to be 200mg/kg... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
