Brief Answer:
Better to reduce doses gradually

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

U can understand your concern. Since you are taking the medicine for one month so it's better to wean off the doses gradually. Reduce the dose by dividing the tablet in half for next 15 days and then on alternate days for about a week. After that you can stop the tablet. Discuss with your doctor before making change in prescription.

Thanks, Hope this helps you, if you have more doubts you can ask again
