Is It Safe To Stop Nuedexta Abruptly Without Tapering Off?

My husband was prescribed Nuedexta for agitation in alzheimers. He has taken it for about 6 weeks now. It seemed to help with the agitation at first but not much now. He has started falling a lot now. Could this be caused by the nuedexta or is the alz progressing? Can you stop it without tapering off?
