1. A sensitivity to the drug is less likely if it is used over a period of time.
2. Fewer side effects occur as the body slowly adjusts to a new substance over time.
3. Fewer allergic reactions occur if the drug is maintained at the same level long-term.
4. The growth of the causative organism into new cells is prevented with long-term use.
