General & Family Physician,  's  Response
APCOD is a vitamin supplement and it is not effective in regularizing menstrual cycle. This is not the right medicine for this purpose. A menstrual cycle can be as short as 22 days or as long as 36 days. It can vary from month to month. Blood flow also varies from month to month. Before taking any medicine, proper cause of irregular period needs to be identified by physical examination of patient and investigations as irregular period can be due to several causes. If your wife’s period is irregularly irregular period every month then consult a gynecologist who is specialized in treating such cases.
Advice
1.     Stop APCOD and consult a gynecologist of your local area
2.     Drink 4 – 5 liters of water daily
3.     Investigations
a.     Ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis
b.     Serum TSH and T4
