Marvelon Tablet is an oral hormonal combination medication that contains Desogestrel and Ethinylestradiol. It's primarily used for contraception and to address dysmenorrhea (irregular and painful periods). Contraception is employed to prevent pregnancy and facilitate family planning. Pregnancy can only occur if a man's sperm fertilizes a woman's egg. Dysmenorrhea involves irregular and painful periods, often causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, digestion issues, fainting, vomiting, and nausea.

The components in Marvelon Tablet 21's, Desogestrel and Ethinylestradiol, are female sex hormones that aid in preventing pregnancy through multiple mechanisms. They hinder the release of an egg from the ovaries and thicken the cervical fluid, creating barriers to sperm entry into the womb. Additionally, they inhibit the thickening of the uterus lining required for egg growth and attachment.

Marvelon 21's can be taken with or without food, but a consistent daily schedule is recommended for optimal efficacy. Side effects like headache, weight changes, acne, abdominal pain, cramps, and depression can occur, although not everyone experiences them. Most side effects tend to resolve on their own over time. If they persist, consult your doctor. The medication should be avoided during pregnancy and shortly after childbirth.

Prior to starting FMarvelon Tablet 21's, inform your doctor if you're above 35 years of age, a smoker, have a history of heart issues, cancer (breast, uterus, or vagina), uterine bleeding, or liver or kidney problems. If you miss a dose or are late by 12 hours, using a condom for 5 days during sexual activity is advised to prevent unintended pregnancy. The medication should not be used if you're already pregnant or breastfeeding. If you experience migraines, notify your doctor, as taking Marvelon Tablet 21's might exacerbate your headaches.
