Need to check if I can stop medication

Question

Asked for Male, 37 Years

I had headache backside of my head, I consulted doctor who advised me to take Druthip 50 mg for 45 days. He asked me to consult again after 45 days. I don't have headache now, and to consult doctor I need to travel 6 hours from my place. So I wanted to check if I can stop this medication as I am fine now. If I can stop, should I stop immediately after 45 days or I need to reduce dosage over a period to stop medication.
