Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Yes, tablets can help in stopping the bleeding. But you need higher dosage.
And also side effects like nausea, vomitings etc. can occur due to higher dose of tablets.
After stopping the tablets within 3 to 4 days you can get withdrawal bleeding.
So you discuss these possibilities with your doctor and follow her advice.
If you think that your menstrual flow will stop before your holiday, you may not need tablets.

Take care.
