Isotretinoin average daily dose

Thank you for your request dated 9 April 2024 under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) for information relating to isotretinoin. You requested:

We would like to know what the average daily dose (of isotretinoin) was from 2008 to 2023. The recommended daily dose was significantly reduced in about 2016 (which would have saved Pharmac money) and we wonder if this has been reflected in the data.

You will find the information you requested in the excel spreadsheet attached.
