Are these tablets 10mg each? I`m so confused because all the variants on napsgear are labeled 10-20mg. But all recommendations I see everywhere are 0.5-2mg per day.

I think you misunderstand. The Maintenance dose for an adult is: 0.25 to 0.5 mg/kg orally 2 times a day. So you need to multiply your body weight in kilos by .25 to .50 to get the right dose.

Yes they are 10mg pills. If you need less than 10 you would break the pill in half or quartered

10mg per pill. I was prescribed accutane many years ago and I believe it was 20mg and progressed to 40mg if memory serves me correct. It was harsh. Made me break out worse to begin with then acne cleared. My lips cracked and skin was very dry. For me the acne returned as soon as I got back on gear, but that`s not the case for everyone.

This version of accutane is 10mg most other brands are 20mg. When my Dr put me on accutane he prescribed 20 mg per day. Keep in mind that there are a lot of side effects of accutane. Sore joints and dry skin and chapped lips,also I had to get bloods done once a month. Very hard on the liver

Yes, they are 10mg. If you need to dose .5 you simply split it in half.

What would be the appropriate dosage? Does it go by body weight?

Roaccutane may be taken once or twice a day and must always be taken with food. Also depends on body weight and your tolerance. Start off with half a pill daily and increase to 1 or 1.5 if needed

This stuff is very powerful….I would recommend 1 capsule every day for the first week….break outs should be under control at this point, but this is just from my experience. good luck

The sides on this stuff seem rough. I suppose if acne is that bad with proper cleaning and exfoliation of the skin this is the way to go. But be cautious with it. More isnt always better. Taking tudca may help with the liver support. I understand using gear to change our physical appearance and gain strength but there are drugs that are worse off for our bodies than we need to use. Good luck.
