A member asked:
I was just put on accutaine for 60 mg a day and in 2 months my doctor is going to bump it up to 70 mg a day. is that okay since i only weigh 135?

Do you trust the doc: Only certain physicians can prescribe Accutane and it is tightly monitored by prescribers. If you trusted him/her initially and have no new reason to feel otherwise, you should continue to follow the advice and therapy given. You're about 60 kg and max dose is 2mg per kg or 120mg for very severe cases. The dose is appropriate if monitored. If you feel uneasy talk to your doc about your concerns.
