Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. After analyzing your query I agree with your doctor, that the bleeding will eventually stop after taking the injesction. But for heavy periods you need to take mefenamic and tranexamic acid combination tablets to decrease bleeding

Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!!
