I don't know what Baktopur is, never heard of it before. But generally
speaking when it says on the med to do 2 treatments (or whatever) they
mean to do the 2 and then stop. They maybe don't write "after this,
you then must stop", but that is the intention.
What illness are you talking about? Have the symptoms disappeared or
decreased? If the symptoms of illness are gone, you should probably
stop, but this is not good for me to advise when I don't know the
illness.
