Hack Your Accutane Prescribing Tip No. 5: Dosing Dos and Don’ts
Start slow, urges Shanna M. Miranti, MPAS, PA-C, a Board-certified Physician Assistant at Riverchase Dermatology in Naples, FL. Isotretinoin dosing schedules vary by prescriber. Ms. Miranti starts at 40mg taken once daily in the morning and encourages her patients to take isotretinoin with a healthy fat to maximize absorption. Starting low and keeping patients on topical therapy for the first month will also help prevent purging, she adds.
