Marvelon – Reducing the risk of pregnancy


Marvelon pills are combined contraceptive pills that are monophasic, meaning each pill contains the same amount of synthetic hormonal dosages. You need to start taking Marvelon pills from the first day of your period for immediate protection. Sometimes, you can also take it up until the fifth day of period, but you have to use an additional contraceptive for the next seven days. You need to take Marvelon pills for 21 days of your menstrual cycle, after which there is a pill-free break of seven days. During this time you are likely to experience a withdrawal bleed, which is similar to your regular period.

It consists of artificial oestrogen (ethinylestradiol, 30 micrograms) and artificial progestogen (levonorgestrel, 150 micrograms) as its primary ingredients. This oral contraceptive prevents conception in three different ways, by stopping ovulation, thickening the cervical mucus and thinning the uterine lining.

However, these pills are not suitable for women suffering from certain medical complications. If you have a medical history of stroke, cardiovascular problems, liver diseases, gallstones, or you are a regular smoker then avoid this medication completely. You should always consult a doctor before taking contraceptive pills as you might expose yourself to severe side effects. The most common side effects can be listed as:

  • Nausea
  • Headaches
  • Breast tenderness
  • changes in weight
  • Bloating
  • Low libido

These are mild side effects that tend to disappear in a short time when your body gets adjusted to the influx of new hormones. However, if these continue to bother you for a long time then inform your doctor straightaway. You can buy Marvelon birth control pills online from healthexpress.eu a registered online clinic in UK.
