Dr. Risa Kagan, an expert on osteoporosis, explains that a drug holiday is a planned period of time that a patient stops taking a medication for anywhere from a few days to up to a year or more. A doctor may recommend a drug holiday to help the patient maintain sensitivity to the drug, to see how the body functions without it, or to reduce possible side effects.
