A member asked:
I'm currently on accutane (day 52, 60mlgs a day), what rules && other things must i follow to get the best possible results from this treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Accutane: Accutane rarely fails for cystic acne. Normally 50% of people are cured taking 1mg/kg for 20 weeks. 50% of people need a second course at double the dose. A very few people need higher doses and more prolonged therapy. Weekly blood tests are need to monitor for adverse effects at these higher doses. See a dermatologist experienced in administering higher doses of accutane.
