I have been menstruating for over 10 days heavy is this normal? i also have a minor infection and am on medicine minocycline? alot of big clots also!

Heavy period on abx: This isn't normal, so u should probably get some blood tests to investigate this problem (CBC, coagulation tests). Antibiotics can sometimes affect other medications u might be on (?) AND can affect the 'good bacteria' in the gut that control your vitamin K levels. If your vitamin K levels go down, your blood proteins could be affected - that may lead to increased bleeding. Hope u can get checked.
