According to the medication prescribing label for Atelvia: "The optimal duration of use has not been determined. Patients should have the need for continued therapy re-evaluated on a periodic basis.

The dosage and administration guidelines does not specify whether or not you can take it periodically:

"Take Atelvia in the morning immediately following breakfast with at least 4 oz. of plain water. Do not lie down for 30 minutes after taking Atelvia."

"Take one 35 mg delayed-release tablet once a week"

I would consider contacting your doctor or local pharmacy regarding your question, since this answer may depend upon the severity of your condition. Also, as stated above, patients should have the need for continued therapy re-evaluated on a periodic basis; so this may be a good time to check into that.

I hope this helps!
