Product Overview

What Are Novelon Tablets?

Novelon Tablets are combined oral contraceptive tablets used for regular contraception and pregnancy prevention. They contain two hormonal ingredients that work together to provide contraceptive protection when taken consistently.

Active Ingredients

Novelon contains desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol. These hormones work together to control the hormonal changes involved in ovulation.

How Do Novelon Tablets Work?

Novelon mainly works by preventing ovulation. It also thickens cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to reach an egg, and causes changes in the uterine lining.

Novelon Tablets are mainly used for:

  • Regular contraception
  • Pregnancy prevention
  • Maintaining contraceptive protection with consistent use

Regular Daily Use

Novelon should be taken regularly according to the pack instructions. Taking it at approximately the same time each day can help maintain consistent contraceptive protection.

Menstrual Cycle Changes

Some users may notice spotting, lighter bleeding, or changes in menstrual timing, particularly during the initial months of use.

Missed Tablet

If a tablet is missed, follow the missed-tablet instructions provided with the pack. The appropriate steps depend on how many tablets were missed and where you are in the pack.

Not for Emergency Contraception

Novelon Tablets are intended for regular contraception and are not an emergency contraceptive.
