How Novelon Tablet works
This combined oral contraceptive suppresses ovulation by inhibiting gonadotropin release. It also thickens cervical mucus and alters the endometrium, making fertilization and implantation less likely.

Tablet (oral). Take 1 tablet once daily at the same time each day for 21 days, followed by a 7-day tablet-free interval (or as per pack instructions). Start on Day 1 of menstruation (or as advised). Can be taken with or without food. If a dose is missed or vomiting/diarrhea occurs, follow missed-pill instructions and use backup contraception.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

An overdose of this medicine may cause nausea, vomiting and withdrawal bleeding. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
