if you want that you will not have period then you will have to start the medicine now and continue it till you do not want the period to occur
if you are having normal periods and excess bleeding then start it from 1st day and continue for 25 days then you will have bleeding again in 3/4 days time
please consult your gynecologist and be guided. as you are 50 your doctor has already done a clinical examination and tests to rule out any underlying disease except excess bleeding
