Hi I think you can take these tablets at a high dose for 3 days to stop the periods and then continue at a lower dose for rest of your month. Consult a gynecologist for proper prescription. If you have period problem, get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of irregular periods. Taking these tablets will not solve the problem. If anything is abnormal, it needs to be treated. Hope it helps.
