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.

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.
