The dose of isotretinoin is 1 mg/ kg. The duration of the treatment should be near 6 months continously even if you have no pimples to avoid the relapse. Start with 20 mg twice a day along with topical clindamycin and inform Me after two weeks. Thanks.

It is not just another pill or vitamin that you can take it on your own. It is a drug/ schedule h medicine - that means it has lot of known side effects. Also there is a particular dose of this medicine that you can take in a year. Self medication of this medicine can be harmful.
