Since I have been taking my pill continuously, I have had pain in my breasts and lower abdomen?

Hello ma'am,

If these symptoms are due to Marvelon, yes, this may be normal, even if you have been taking it for a long time and have only switched to continuous use. In some people it may take several months to resolve, usually 3-6 months.

However, if it is affecting your quality of life, I suggest stopping for 7 days or less and then starting again

If the symptoms persist or potentially prevent you from continuing the treatment, I suggest contacting your pharmacist who can suggest alternatives to your doctor.

I hope this has been helpful to you and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
