You should take total 120-150 mg/kg body weight in 6 months. This will clear acne for next 6 months to 2 years. Do lft and lipid profile every 1 month. If you can tolerate than you can take 40-60 mg per day for 3-4 months.

Hi. Isotretinoin is sometimes prescribed for 3 to 6 months. If you take for short duration, there wil be more chances of recurrence. Folow up with the dermatolgist. Thanks.
