Hi there.

Please do not stop the hormonal pills your doctor had prescribed you on yourself. Your acute problem of excessive bleeding needs treatment and that is how the doctor has prescribed you primolut.
Anyway, as of now please take tab Tranexamic acid 500 mg. For prescription please see a local doctor. You need to take this tablet as soon as your next menstrual bleeding starts for next 4 to 5 cycles.
Meanwhile please get yourself treated for low hemoglobin as you have lost quite a lot of blood. Take care.
