Patient's question:
How to take contraceptive medications like Marvelon? First question supplement: I mean, how should Marvelon be taken? I'm a little confused~~~Doctor's answer:
Hello: Mercilon is a short-term oral contraceptive, different from emergency contraception, which can be taken at any time. Each box of Mercilon oral contraceptive contains 21 pills, one per day, taken for 21 days followed by a 7-day break, and the next box should be started on the 8th day.For the first time taking Mercilon, it is best to follow the correct method as instructed: start with the first pill on the first day of your period, so effective contraception begins from that day onwards. Therefore, it is recommended to use other contraceptive methods this month and start taking Mercilon on the first day of your next period to avoid disrupting your menstrual cycle. If the first pill is taken outside of your menstrual period, the contraceptive effect for that month cannot be guaranteed.
