-Latent bacterial forms, except maybe the kind one sees in the rapidly degenerative disease ALS, are very slow-growing. Abstinence from MP antibiotics for a few days or even weeks will not result in a significant increase in bacteria.

-MP patients who have discontinued olmesartan (Benicar) during a break from the MP may want to take olmesartan (Benicar) alone for a few days before resuming the minocycline. This will guard against any intolerable adjustment symptoms.+MP patients who have discontinued olmesartan (Benicar) during a break from the MP will want to take olmesartan (Benicar) without additional antibiotics while they determine how strong their own immune response is with the support of olmesartan's immune stimulative effects

 +Patients taking a break from antibiotics for just a few days or so usually find they can resume the antibiotics at the previous dose. However, patients taking a break from antibiotics for longer than a few days will need to restart their antibiotics at a lower dose to assess symptoms as tolerable, to avoid a strong immune system reaction.
