What is Cerazette (desogestrel)?

Cerazette is an oral contraceptive pill that contains a small amount of the progestogen desogestrel. A progestogen is a synthetic type of female sex hormone that helps control your normal menstrual cycle.

As Cerazette only contains progestogen and no estrogen, Cerazette is called a progestogen-only pill (POP).

Cerazette requires a prescription from a healthcare professional and must be taken at about the same time every day in order to prevent pregnancy.
