Overview
Marvelon Tablet is supplied as a tablet, with Ethinylestradiol 30mcg. It is supplied in pack sizes of 21s and 63s.
No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.
If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.
Directions for Use
Marvelon should only be used according to the schedule and instructions given by the prescribing doctor. It is typically taken once daily at approximately the same time each day, following the arrows printed on the blister strip, for 21 or 28 days depending on the pack type, before starting a new strip. Do not start, stop, or restart Marvelon without medical advice, and complete an online consultation via DoctorOnCall before your first order so a doctor can confirm it is appropriate for you.
Dosage
The standard dose is one tablet of Marvelon (Ethinylestradiol 30mcg + Desogestrel 150mcg) daily, taken at the same time each day for the duration of the strip as directed by the prescribing doctor. Missing a dose, taking it late, or doubling up without guidance can reduce contraceptive protection, so any missed-pill situation should be discussed with a doctor or pharmacist rather than self-adjusted.
Shelf Life
Marvelon Tablet should be used within the expiry date printed on the strip and outer carton. Do not use the medicine beyond its expiry date, as its effectiveness and safety cannot be guaranteed after this point.
Storage Instructions
Store Marvelon Tablet below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original blister strip until ready for use, and keep out of the reach of children.

What should I do if I notice side effects after using Marvelon Tablet?
Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you. Seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.
How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Marvelon Tablet be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Marvelon Tablet registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
