USES 

ACTIONS 

ATC Classification G03A A09 

Marvelon 21 is a combined oral contraceptive (COC) preparation
containing as active 
substances the oestrogen, ethinyloestradiol, and the progestogen,
desogestrel.  Clinical 
studies have revealed that the oral contraceptive
preparations containing ethinyloestradiol 
and desogestrel lack undesirable metabolic effects.  These effects
are thought to result from 
the androgenic activity of some
progestogens in oral contraceptives.  Because of this, 
Marvelon 21 may have a favourable effect on androgen-related skin
disorders such as acne 
and hirsutism.  When taken according to the recommended dosage
scheme Marvelon 21 
suppresses the hypophyseal gonadal function and thereby ovulation. 
The contraceptive effect of COCs is based on the interaction of
various factors, the most 
important of which are seen as the inhibition of ovulation and the
changes in the cervical 
secretion.  Besides protection against pregnancy, COCs
have several positive properties 
which, next to the negative properties (see WARNINGS
AND PRECAUTIONS and ADVERSE 
EFFECTS), can be useful in deciding on the method of birth control.
 The cycle is more regular 
and the menstruation is often less painful and bleeding is lighter.
 The latter may result in a 
decrease in the occurrence of iron deficiency.  Apart from
this, there is evidence of a 
reduced risk
