Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service
I have gone through your query.
There is no specific maintenance dose of Accutane after the treatment is over.
It is usually tapered off very gradually over a period of few months to avoid relapse of acne like Accutane 20 mg twice weekly for few weeks followed by once weekly for a few weeks,
To avoid acne you need to avoid measures aggravating acne.
Use an acne face wash, a non-comegogenic moisturizer, avoid sugary foods and dairy products, avoid hot humid weather, avoid aggressive scrubbing of the skin, use a gel-based sunscreen and avoid oiling of scalp.
These are the measures which will keep your acne under check.
