Marvelon

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.

Each Marvelon tablet contains 150 micrograms of desogestrel and 30 micrograms of ethinylestradiol, along with lactose, maize starch, povidone, and magnesium stearate as excipients.

Common side effects of Marvelon may include nausea, breast tenderness, and changes in weight. Serious side effects such as blood clots, heart attack, or stroke are rare but require immediate medical attention. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms like severe headache, chest pain, or shortness of breath.

Do not use Marvelon if you have a history of blood clots, heart disease, or certain types of cancer. Marvelon is not suitable for pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers. If you have a history of migraines, epilepsy, or liver problems, consult your doctor before starting Marvelon. Certain medications like antibiotics or antiepileptics may interact with Marvelon, so inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking.
