Accutane pill size?

Accutane (isotretinoin) tablets are small, round pills that are easy to swallow.

- Typical size: Most commercially available Accutane tablets are about 14 – 15 mm in diameter (roughly 1.4 – 1.5 cm) and around 0.8 – 1 mm thick.
- Appearance: They are usually white or off‑white, smooth, and often have a small “T” or “I” stamped on the surface to help with identification.

Strengths you’ll find in pharmacies:
- 10 mg (often a thin, slightly translucent pill)
- 20 mg
- 30 mg
- 40 mg
- 45 mg (the largest, thicker and slightly more opaque)

These tablets are produced by a few major manufacturers, and the exact dimensions can vary slightly from one brand to another, but they’re all within the 14 – 15 mm range.
