Hi I think you can take tranexamic acid 500mg 3 times a day for 3 to 5 days to reduce the bleeding. If it doesn't work, you may need high dose of progesterone to stop the bleeding. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of heavy bleeding during periods. Hope it helps.
