There has been discussion inside the Government about letting reliable patients leave a clinic and continue their maintenance doses under a physician's care.

Other ways to get this treatment are called cluster or rush immunotherapy, in which you reach the maintenance dose more quickly.

But I had this idea to take it in maintenance doses whenever there were signs my cancer was coming back.

Once the maintenance dose is reached, the injections are administered less often (every two to four weeks), still on a regular basis.

Continuing the maintenance dose for about 4 to 5 half lives (t) of the drug will approximate the steady state level.

The duration of this treatment and the post-treatment maintenance dose is not known.

Corticosteroids are tapered to a low maintenance dose, 5-10 mg/day.

Routine blood work is necessary in the initial stages until a maintenance dose is established.

The usual maintenance dose is 2 to 4 mg daily.

But women who have been receiving desensitization shots can continue to do so at a maintenance dose during pregnancy.
