A member asked:
I am female 5'4 and 10 stone, i have been prescribed 20mg of accutane a day for six moths to get rid of my moderate acne. is this the correct dose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: 20 mg per day is the correct dose for moderate acne. You must be on effective contraception while taking Accutane because the risk of fetal deformity in the event you fall pregnant is very high. If you are not on contraception see your GP at once. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
