Does accutane during puberty cook your height!?

[jdXII]

Does taking accutane during puberty make me unable to reach my max height? or will I grow more after I stop my course

it could if you take insane dosages which would never be prescribed by a docotor. You will not experience premature growth plate closure on normal dosages

More than 40mg for 9+ months

Nope that’s still too little, it would be a dosage so high that nobody would take it. Like 200-400mg a day

Isotret cycles are based on cumulative dosage so 20mg 3 months = 10mg 6 months and so on. The dosage is irrelevant because prolonged exposure still = longer time at lower IGF. The suppression of IGF is just more acutely measurable at absurd dosages. Has no role in premature closure tho obviously. At the end of the day, the difference in height would likely be negligible. Studies typically state roughly a 20% decrease in IGF

Your outcomes are likely going to be the same. Not worth stressing about it. If you're really trying to grow, what's going to matter is exogenous hormones rather than worrying about this small reduction.

I only personally don't like accutane because of how severely it impacts blood work (i've been using on and off for years). It's honestly more damaging than a lot of AAS and sarms to liver and lipids. Side effects can be pretty brutal too. Regardless, for people with unfixable skin it's a viable option
