Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Swedish term or phrase:
Underhåll
English translation:
maintenance/chronic/long-term (control)
Swedish term
Underhåll
"Underhåll" is used in the sense of stopping the skin disease from breaking out again or reoccurance after treatment so it's like "post-control"
But I don't know the right term. There is no context other than "applied once a week" to achieve this.
Thanks

maintenance/chronic/long-term (control)
Maintenance is very common.
Chronic is less common but may be a neat contrast to acute therapy if that is also included.
Long-term treatment is another option, e.g. long-term asthma control medication.
Long-term control medicines help you have fewer and milder attacks
Studies in the literature have highlighted factors that impact patient adherence to acute and chronic therapy

: "monitoring" sounds better than 'control' in my opinion. 'Surveillance' is wrong in this context.

post-treatment surveillance
In the law there may be only one right answer(Dworkin) though, in medicine, there may be two or more.

Just a thought!
Discussion
I later had "underhållsdosen" and this term was much easier to find than just "underhåll". It was "maintenance dose" so "maintenance" is indeed correct here
see for instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maintenance_therapy
