Pulse treatment is where you have periods on and off the drug. Every other day prednisone is an example. With long term antibiotics, it is usually a one or two week cycle on and off. This prevents constant exposure and tolerance. You could even do one week on and three weeks off. Whatever keeps you in a stable state.

It does not work for everyone, but is a good option and worth exploring. It can help develop some predictability. Even a few days of drug holiday can be worth it, if it works for you.
