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.
