A member asked:
Based on your experience what's the percentage of people who will need 3 courses of accutane?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low percent: First, about 80-85% of patients will only need one course. So, roughly 15-20% need a second course. Of that 15-20% group about 15-20% require a third course. I am assuming this relates to cystic acne use? Any other uses would be off label and without good data to support any claim of success.
