Cerazette

About Cerazette

  • Contraception
  • ‘Mini pill’: contains only one hormone
  • Highly effective
  • Can be used by women who are breastfeeding

Cerazette is a progestogen-only pill that contains the active ingredient desogestrel. It is a type of hormonal contraception that works by preventing ovulation, thickening the cervical mucus to stop sperm from reaching the egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus to prevent a fertilized egg from implanting. Cerazette is suitable for women who are looking for a reliable contraceptive option without estrogen, making it suitable for those who cannot take estrogen-containing contraceptives due to various reasons.

Dosage and usage

You should take one Cerazette pill every day at the same time to maintain its effectiveness. There are no breaks between packs, so you start the next pack immediately after finishing the current one. If you miss a pill, follow the instructions provided in the leaflet. Cerazette is convenient for women who may struggle with estrogen-based contraceptives or are breastfeeding. If you experience persistent side effects or unusual symptoms, contact your healthcare provider.
