Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Place four tablets (or their equivalent) in the mouth under the tongue or in the cheek pouch. Hold tablets in the mouth for 20-30 minutes to allow them to dissolve, and then swallow the remaining fragments.
During this process, you may experience bleeding that is somewhat heavier than for a period. That is normal. You should have a supply of thick sanitary napkins on hand.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
