Brief Answer:
tranexemic acid
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. XXXXXXX PCOD patients commonly have irregular periods.
But bleeding for such a long period is not a good thing.
Give her tablet tranexemic acid 500 mg thrice a day for 3 days.
In case this pattern continues or recurrs in next cycle then visit your gynecologist for examination and transvaginal ultrasound.
All the best.
