The dose of Isotretinoin that a patient receives is dependent on their weight and the severity of the condition. 

• High dose treatments are administered between – 0.5mg/kg/day (usually at 0.5-1mg/kg/day, divided into two doses) for a total treatment of 4-6 months
• A second course may be used for two months following the cessation of the initial course if severe acne recurs
• Other studies show that lower dosage treatments are just as effective. In these experiments, subjects used 20mg/day, which is 0.25mg/kg/day for an 80kg (179lbs) person
