Probably not that often.
Usually, the tests are performed at
the starting of treatment to find
a theraputic and cosntant level,
once this has been achieved, the
tests need only be performed once
every six months or so.
The tests are mainly performed to
prevent toxisity of the two. So,
being on a lower dose, you may not
need them as often.
