- 99 to 109 pounds -- 45 mg
- 110 to 131 pounds -- 55 mg
- 132 to 157 pounds -- 65 mg

You can take this medication with or without food. However, you may find that taking it with food helps prevent irritation or ulcers of the esophagus. If you experience these or any other problems with Solodyn, tell your healthcare provider, but do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to do so.
