Therapy modality where an effective treatment is used in interval. Two treatment modalities can also be used alternately. As a rule, a potent active substance is chosen alternating with blanden care or complete discontinuation of the treatment. The principle of interval therapy can be applied externally or systemically. An example is the interval therapy of a deep mycosis with a systemic antimycotic: 1 week therapy alternating with 3 weeks without treatment.
