Hi,
Thanks for the query.

If you alter the time of intake of the primulot tablets, that can lead to withdrawal bleeding.
So you have to take the tablets at the same time everyday to prevent these complications.
Possibly the spotting will completely subside after completion of the tablets.
Then in the next cycle if the same thing repeats you have to get evaluated to fond out the cause for your menorrhagea.
If hormonal imbalance was found to be the cause you may need few more cycles of progesterone pills.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
