On accutane 10mg for 3mths. derm pump me up to 20mg. is it still too low for a dose for moderate acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Accutane is a very: serious drug, and 10-20 mg is very low. but you need to make sure the doctor monitoring you is a board certified doctor who understands the seriousness of this prescription. Blood work should be drawn monthly
