In the Summary of Product Characteristics Medikinet CR, the manufacturer does not describe the "drug holidays" indicated by you in the entry for the weekend or holidays. However, it indicates a summer break. The only description he made is as follows: "There is no need to use Medikinet CR indefinitely. If you have been taking Medikinet CR for more than a year, your doctor should stop treatment at least once a year. In the case of children, such a break in treatment is beneficial to plan for the period of school holidays." However, please note that the doctor does not have to base the therapy regimen on the guidelines of the drug manufacturer. His experience and acquired knowledge allow him to modify the treatment in such a way that it is helpful and safe for the patient. This is the so-called off-label use of the drug, which we wrote about here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami It is difficult for me to say what could have been the specific reason for changing the treatment regimen in the case of your son, but it is definitely worth trusting the doctor or dispel the doubts that have arisen in a conversation directly with him, e.g. by phone: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/blog/jak-telefoniczne-otrzymac-recepte-i-zwolnienie-lekarskie
