You can take tab  tranexamic acid but better to consult your doc. Sometimes, hormonal medications may be needed to control the bleeding or bringyour cycles in regular pattern. Since its the first period after your delivery, it is expected. Observe how future cycles happen.
Next Steps
visit your doc if periods if bleeding is continuing and heavy
