Default Removing carbon filter when medicating

How long do people normally remove the carbon for when treating?


I leave it for the duration of the course, if for example
it's one where you add dose one on a certain day, then another
dose X days later, etc. Then I replace the day after last dose.

If it's a dose you just add and leave, I leave it for 48 hours
if the fish are better and leave for a week if not.

Then I put fresh carbon in and do a largish (30% or so) water
change.
