Cerazette 28 Day Progestogen-Only Pill | Mini Pill Birth Control | Desogestrel

Description

Product Description

Cerazette is a progestogen-only oral contraceptive pill (mini pill) containing desogestrel. It is used to prevent pregnancy and is suitable for individuals who cannot take oestrogen-containing birth control pills. Unlike traditional mini pills, Cerazette works by consistently suppressing ovulation, as well as thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. It is taken every day without a pill-free break.

Cerazette is commonly prescribed for breastfeeding individuals, those with migraine with aura, or those who are sensitive to oestrogen. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Pistil offers discreet, doctor-led consultations and teleconsult services to support safe and confident contraceptive use.
