Many people will pause treatment at some point. This is very normal and our processes are designed to support this.
When you are ready to restart, the dose we are able to safely prescribe will depend on how long it’s been since your last treatment.
Here’s how we typically approach restart doses:
Time since last treatment | What to expect |
Less than 8 weeks | You can usually return to your previous dose or move up as planned. |
8-12 weeks | Clinical review is required to determine the safest dose. You may continue at your previous dose or step down. |
12 weeks to 6 months | Clinical review is required. You may continue at your previous dose, step down, or restart treatment at the lowest dose. |
More than 6 months | Restart at the lowest dose. |
If you are on Foundayo, these rules differ (as the medication typically leaves the body faster). Read about treatment breaks on Foundayo here.
