A member asked:
Is 20mg daily a high dose for roaccutane / accutane?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Roughly 1 mg per kg of body weight is a typica daily dose. 40-80 mg a day is pretty common for average sized persons. However, every patient is a little different. Your dermatologist should discuss this with you to clarify.

No: This is a very LOW dose. Much too low a dose for most purposes.
