When you start isotretinoin (Accutane), your dermatologist usually increases the dosage gradually. I just started my second round and asked not to begin low and work my way up — I wanted to start at the highest dose right away. My poor face and lips… they’re sensitive, super dry, and a little sore. 🤧🫣

Pharmacist here. I usually prescribe it half dose for 2 weeks then full dose for 3-6 months. The 2 weeks at half dose is to prevent a acne flare up that can happen in the beginning of treatment.
