Why is Cerazette prescribed?

Cerazette (Desogestrel) is a progestin-only pill that is prescribed to prevent pregnancy.

What does it do?

Cerazette is a contraceptive that works in several ways such as by preventing an egg from being released from the ovaries. It also thickens the fluid (mucus) in the cervix that hinders the sperms from reaching the womb. In addition, it averts the thickening of the lining of the womb, as a result, it became unfavorable for an egg to grow in it.

How should I take it?

This should be taken orally, preferably at the same time each day. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water.

What if I missed a dose?

If a dose was missed, take it immediately upon recall (if less than 12 hours late from the schedule) and take the next dose per the usual schedule. You are still protected against pregnancy. If more than 12 hours late from the usual schedule, take the tablet upon recall and take the next tablet at the usual schedule which means taking two tablets in one day. It is not harmful, continue to take the succeeding tablets as usual. No need to take the other missed doses if more than one tablet was missed, but better to take an extra method of contraception (such as a condom) for the following 7 days.
