Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.

Brief Answer:
No maintaining dosage.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again dear. I don't think you can use it without stopping in order to keep right balance.
You may stop it for as long as it is not necessary and if the fall starts again you can repeat the treatment twice daily.
There is not a maintaining dosage.
