Brief Answer:
You can increase the dose
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
If you have started norethisterone tablet after slight spotting, it is likely that the bleeding will stop.
However, if the spotting is continuing even on tablet, then you should increase the dose to three times a day and continue the medicine till you do not want your periods.
The bleeding will occur within 3-5 days of stopping the medicine.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
