It contains the same ingredients as Marvelon; however it has a lower dosage of artificial oestrogen. You may choose to buy Mercilon pills instead of Marvelon if you are particularly sensitive to oestrogen.

Mercilon pills are a good option for women who find that other variants of the pill have caused them to gain weight. In clinical trials it has been found that, when used for a long period of time, this contraceptive has even resulted in a small amount of weight loss.

The active ingredients present in Mercilon pills are ethinylestradiol (20 micrograms) and desogestrel (0.15 milligrams). Because it contains both artificial oestrogen and progestogen, it works in multiple ways to protect you from falling pregnant.
