A member asked:
Accutane, didn't miss dosage 1st month (30mg). miss total six pills off/on throughout first 3 weeks of 2nd month (40 mg). will this affect results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Take with food for best result. Best results from taking each dose. The more doses you miss the more likely you will need to extend the total length of therapy. You do not give your weight. Probably you will soon be on 80mg a day. You will need to grease your lips.
