Isotretinoin – Duration of Treatment

Transcript

The length of treatment is different for every patient. On average, a patient will take the medication for six to eight months. The length of treatment depends on how high the daily dose the patient takes. If the patient is on low dose, the treatment takes longer. Dose strength is determined by the patient’s desires along with the severity of the side effects, the cost of the office visits, and / or the distance to the dermatologist’s office.
