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.

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.

Ethinyl Estradiol works by replacing or replenishing the hormone estrogen that is normally produced in the body. Desogestrel works by preventing the fertilization of the egg with the sperm. It also induces changes in hormonal levels contributing to the prevention of pregnancy. Thus, this combination is an effective oral contraceptive for the prevention of pregnancy.
This is used to avoid getting pregnant. Oral contraceptives are a highly efficient birth control strategy. When administered properly (no missing tablets), the chances of falling pregnant are extremely slim.
The 'combined Pill' is an oral contraceptive containing two female hormones: Desogestrel (a progestogen) and ethinylestradiol (an estrogen). Each tablet has a modest amount of both hormones, making it a low-dose contraceptive. All tablets in the pack have the same hormones and doses, classifying it as a monophasic combination oral contraceptive.

Regarding thrombosis and the Pill: Thrombosis is the formation of blood clots that block blood vessels. Deep venous thrombosis, which occurs in the deep veins of the legs, can occur with or without the use of the Pill. This clot can potentially travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism. While the risk of thrombosis is increased in Pill users compared to non-users, it's not as high as during pregnancy.
A breast cancer diagnosis has been slightly more frequent in Pill users than in non-users of the same age. However, this increased risk diminishes over time after discontinuation of the Pill.
There have been cases of benign and even rarer malignant liver tumors among Pill users, which can result in internal bleeding. If you experience severe abdominal discomfort, consult your doctor promptly.
