Cerazette - Mini Pill Organon

Cerazette

Cerazette is commonly known as the ‘mini pill’ and is 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. What differentiates the mini-pill from the pill is the fact that the mini-pill only contains artificial progestogen, and not any oestrogen.

The active ingredient in this Cerazette contraceptive pill is desogestrel and it's unusual because prevents ovulation just like the pill. Regular mini-pills don’t generally stop ovulation and rely upon altering the cervical mucus and womb lining. This difference makes Cerazette pills one of the most effective mini-pills available.

Cerazette pills are just as effective as combined oral contraceptives, but they don’t contain artificial oestrogen. This makes it much safer for breastfeeding women to use, as well as women over 35 or those who smoke. A Cerazette contraceptive pill can even be taken up to 12 hours later than usual, whereas regular mini pills need to be taken within the same three hours every day.

What are the benefits of using Cerazette pills?

Cerazette contraceptive pills provide immediate protection against pregnancy if taken on the first day of your period. Cerazette provides women who are particularly sensitive to oestrogen with a comprehensive method of birth control that works just as effectively as the pill. Cerazette pills can also provide relief for women who have very painful periods. Around 94% of women in clinical trials reported that they noticed significantly less pain during their periods while using Cerazette.

How does this birth control pill work?

Cerazette pills work by convincing the body that ovulation has already happened, so the chance of an egg being released while you are using Cerazette is very rare. Just like regular mini-pills, Cerazette contraceptive pills also prevent the womb lining from thickening and thickens cervical fluid so that sperm can’t enter the womb.

Who can take Cerazette contraceptive pills?

Most healthy women over the age of 18 looking for a long-term contraceptive can buy Cerazette pills online. It is important to provide the prescribing doctor with your medical history and current information during your free online consultation, to ensure it's appropriate for you.

Who cannot take it?

It is not advisable to use Cerazette pills if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or if you’re allergic to desogestrel. It is also not safe to use Cerazette if you have a history of circulation problems, breast cancer or have recently had jaundice or experienced undiagnosed vaginal bleeding.

How do you take Cerazette contraceptive pills?

This oral contraceptive is classed as a mini-pill and is taken for the full 28 days of your cycle, with no breaks between one pack and the next. Cerazette contraceptive pills can be taken up to 12 hours later than your usual time, with or without food, and still provide adequate protection unlike other regular pills.

Are there any Cerazette side effects?

First time Cerazette users may experience side effects because the body isn’t used to the ingredients it contains. However, your system will usually adapt to the pills fairly quickly without causing too much discomfort. Cerazette contraceptive pills don’t contain artificial oestrogen, which means that they may be ideal for women who have struggled with headaches and other oestrogen-related side effects while using combination contraceptives. The most common side effects of this contraceptive include mood changes, decreased sexual drive (libido), headaches, nausea, acne, breast pain, weight gain and irregular or no periods.
