acneman 0 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Do you get the same effect of taking 20mg of Accutane once a week as 2.5mg per day? Maybe taking a very small daily dose rather than taking a relatively larger once a week dose beneficial since I would think the Accutane would be in the bloodstream all throughout the week?

Only 20mg a week? That seems weird considering most people take 3X/4X that per DAY Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe taking a very small daily dose rather than taking a relatively larger once a week dose beneficial since I would think the Accutane would be in the bloodstream all throughout the week? I've been trying to get an answer to this as well. There's a doctor who sometimes posts to the board (his login name is Dermpro), and he mentioned that it wouldn't make any difference if I took 40mg per week or 2 X 20mg. I don't think it matters. But then I'm curious why some people are on 10mg per day instead of just taking 2 40mg pills or something. It would be much cheaper. I don't know why they would prescribe it in daily microdoses. Except in the case of Rosacea where the big dose can supposedly irritate their eyes. Good luck Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
