Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cerazette used for?

Cerazette is a progestogen-only contraceptive pill (POP) used to prevent pregnancy. It contains the active ingredient desogestrel, which is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone​.

How should I take Cerazette?

Take one Cerazette tablet every day at the same time without any breaks between packs, including during your period. If you start taking it on days 1-5 of your period, you will be immediately protected against pregnancy. If you start at any other time, use additional contraception for the first 7 days​.

What should I do if I miss a pill?

If you are less than 12 hours late, take the missed pill as soon as you remember and then take the next pill at the usual time. If you are more than 12 hours late, take the missed pill as soon as you remember, but use additional contraception, like condoms, for the next 7 days. If you have had unprotected sex during this time, consider emergency contraception.

What are the common side effects of Cerazette?

Common side effects include irregular periods, mood changes, decreased libido, headaches, nausea, acne, breast tenderness, and weight gain. These side effects often improve after a few months of use​.

Who should not take Cerazette?

Cerazette should not be taken by individuals who have a history of breast cancer, liver cancer, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or severe liver disease. It is also not suitable for those allergic to any of its ingredients​.

Can I take Cerazette while breastfeeding?

Yes, Cerazette is considered safe to use while breastfeeding. It does not affect milk production or quality, although small amounts of the active ingredient may pass into breast milk. Always consult your doctor before starting any new medication while breastfeeding.

Does Cerazette interact with other medications?

Cerazette can interact with medications such as those for epilepsy (e.g., phenytoin, carbamazepine), tuberculosis (e.g., rifampicin), HIV (e.g., ritonavir), and herbal remedies like St John’s Wort. Inform your doctor of all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions​.
