Marvelon tablets are a form of contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy. When Marvelon is taken correctly, it is 99% effective. The medication is taken once daily over the course of 21 days, followed by a 7-day break. 

During this break, there is often a breakthrough bleed which appears as a normal period. 

By regulating a woman’s cycle, Marvelon tablets can also help relieve heavy periods, reduce period pain and reduce hormonal acne. Many women also, therefore, take Marvelon to regulate heavier periods.

The Marvelon contraceptive pill is well suited to most women, however, it is always important to measure weight and blood pressure before taking any contraceptive medication. As these factors can help determine which pill is best for you. 

You can purchase home blood pressure kits or visit a local pharmacy to get a free blood pressure check. You will also be asked questions regarding your health history, including migraines, smoking, a family history of stroke or heart attack, and breast cancer.

Other pills may be taken regularly over the course of 28 days without a break. These can often stop regular menstruation from occurring or can help to lighten heavy periods.

FAQ

  • What should I do if I miss a dose of the Marvelon pill?

    If you miss a dose of this contraceptive pill, you should take your Marvelon pill as soon as remember. Missing one dose and then taking the next dose within one day usually means you will still be protected from pregnancy. 

    However, if you miss two consecutive doses, you are less likely to be protected from pregnancy. In either case, you should consider using alternative contraception methods such as condoms.

  • When can I start the Marvelon contraceptive pill?

    You should start taking the Marvelon combined oral contraceptive pill on the first day of your next period if this is possible. 

    If you begin taking Marvelon in the first five days of your cycle, you will be immediately protected against getting pregnant. It is important to note that if you begin taking Marvelon tablets later in your cycle, you will still need to use other methods of protection like condoms.

    Following this, you should continue to take Marvelon for a 21-day period, followed by a 7-day break. You should then continue the process following the 7-day break and repeat the medication cycle.

  • Can I use this combined oral contraceptive when breastfeeding?

    It is recommended that you wait six weeks after having a baby before using some type of pill. Speak to a member of the team about the options available to you.

  • Can this combined oral contraceptive cause breast cancer?

    Some types of contraceptive pills have been linked to an increased risk of developing breast cancer. If you have a family history of breast cancer, our dedicated team can help you choose a contraceptive option that is appropriate for you.

  • Does the Marvelon pill cause weight gain?

    Side effects differ from person to person when using oral contraceptive pills. Weight gain may occur but can be managed with regular exercise and a balanced diet.

  • Will contraceptive pills affect my fertility?

    Birth control is not shown to affect fertility. Normally, fertility resumes as soon as you stop taking Marvelon or any other contraceptive pill.
