Hello,
Vertical is for symptomatic relief of vertigo, so as soon as the symptoms resolve your father can surely atop the drug. Two weeks shower more than enough, rather if it is persistent post 2 weeks, again a review visit to the diagnosis should be done to make sure we are not missing anything
. Also the cause of giddiness might be the blood pressure and so stopping (though I would prefer gradual down titration) of the meds, should be enough.
Lastly do keep a follow up of his blood pressure reading. Hoping I could help
