What do women want from their oral contraceptive?

As an estrogen-free, progestogen only pill (POP) that primarily inhibits ovulation, Cerazette offers women a reliable and highly acceptable alternative to combined oral contraceptives (COCs).1–5 - Convenience and flexibility
Cerazette provides a convenient method of oral contraception with the flexibility of a 12-hour 'missed pill' window that is similar to COCs but is longer than traditional POPs.1,4,6–9 - Freedom from unwanted side effects
Cerazette contains the progestogen desogestrel, but no estrogen. Cerazette is generally well tolerated.1
