Welcome to HealthcareMagic Public Forum

Duration of treatment is a complex decision. It depend on many medicine, side effects, life circumstance, patient and illness related factors.

It is better to not stop medicine without your doctor advice.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
