Active Ingredients
| Component |
Strength |
Role |
| Desogestrel |
0.15 mg |
Third-generation progestin that suppresses ovulation and thickens cervical mucus to block sperm from reaching the egg. |
| Ethinylestradiol |
0.03 mg |
Synthetic estrogen that stabilizes the uterine lining and regulates menstrual cycles. |
The balanced hormone levels in Novelon provide strong contraceptive protection while helping reduce common hormonal side effects such as nausea, bloating, or mood fluctuations.
How Novelon Works
Novelon prevents pregnancy by influencing the body’s hormonal cycle in several ways:
- Stops ovulation: Suppresses LH and FSH hormones responsible for releasing an egg from the ovary.
- Thickens cervical mucus: Makes it difficult for sperm to reach the uterus.
- Thins the uterine lining: Reduces the chance of a fertilized egg implanting.
- Balances hormone levels: May reduce acne, oily skin, and excess hair growth.
- Regulates menstrual cycles: Helps produce lighter, more predictable periods.
The result is dependable contraception along with benefits for hormonal balance, skin health, and menstrual regularity.
Medical Uses of Novelon
- Pregnancy Prevention: Over 99% effective when taken correctly.
- Menstrual Cycle Regulation: Helps manage irregular or heavy periods and reduces cramps.
- PCOS Support: Assists in balancing hormones and reducing acne or excess hair growth.
- PMS Relief: May reduce bloating, fatigue, and mood swings before menstruation.

- Cancer Risk Reduction: Long-term use may reduce the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancers.
Dosage and Administration
Take one Novelon tablet daily for 21 consecutive days, preferably at the same time each day.
- Start on the first day of your menstrual cycle for immediate protection.
- After completing 21 tablets, take a 7-day pill-free break before beginning the next pack.
- If switching from another contraceptive method, start after your last active pill or IUD removal and use backup contraception for 7 days.
Withdrawal bleeding, similar to a light period, usually occurs 3–4 days after the last active tablet.
Missed Dose Instructions
- Missed 1 pill: Take it as soon as you remember and continue the pack normally.
- Missed 2 pills in Week 1 or 2: Take two pills daily for two days and use backup contraception for 7 days.
- Missed 2 or more pills in Week 3: Discard the pack and start a new one immediately. Use backup contraception for 7 days.

If withdrawal bleeding does not occur after missed pills, consider taking a pregnancy test or consulting a healthcare professional.
