What Are Marvelon Tablets?
Marvelon is a 21-day combined contraceptive pill. It contains two hormones (a progestogen and an oestrogen) that work together to reduce the chance of pregnancy. Many users also choose Marvelon for cycle control, including more predictable bleeding patterns.

How Marvelon Works
Prevents Ovulation
Marvelon reduces the chance of pregnancy primarily by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg).
Thickens Cervical Mucus
It also thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach an egg.
Changes the Womb Lining
Marvelon can change the uterine lining, reducing the likelihood of implantation.
How to Take Marvelon
Starting Marvelon
Start Marvelon on the first day of your period for immediate contraceptive protection. Take 1 tablet daily at the same time each day for 21 days, then take a 7-day pill-free break. A withdrawal bleed usually occurs during the break. Start the next pack on day 8, even if bleeding continues.
Missed Dose Guidance
If you miss a tablet, take it as soon as you remember and take the next tablet at your usual time. If you miss more than one tablet, follow the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) guidance or seek clinical advice, as additional contraception may be needed.
