About Marvelon

  • Contraceptive pill
  • Contains two types of female sex hormones (combination pill)
  • Highly effective
  • Not to be used while breastfeeding

Marvelon is a combined oral contraceptive pill that contains two types of female hormones, ethinylestradiol, and desogestrel. These hormones work together to prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation, thickening the cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation. Marvelon is suitable for women looking for an effective birth control method that also helps regulate menstrual cycles and reduce menstrual cramps.

Dosage and usage

You should take one Marvelon tablet every day at the same time for 21 days, followed by a 7-day pill-free break. Start the next pack after the 7-day break, regardless of whether you have finished your period. Marvelon should be swallowed whole with water. If you miss a pill, follow the instructions in the patient leaflet. The effects of Marvelon last throughout the 21-day active pill period. If you experience severe abdominal pain or chest pain, seek medical help immediately.
