What is Cerazette?
Cerazette is a contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy, falling into the “mini-pill” category (which only contains progestogen).
How does Cerazette work?
Cerazette works by preventing the sperm cells from entering the womb, as well as preventing the egg cell from ripening (in most cases). Containing a small amount of the female sex hormone, the progestogen desogestrel, it protects women against pregnancy.
What are the benefits of taking Cerazette?
Using Cerazette provides women with protection against unwanted pregnancies, allowing them more freedom with both their daily lives and sex lives. Because of the hormone it contains, Cerazette can also help to regulate a woman’s menstrual cycle, or stop symptoms altogether for those who suffer badly.
Cerazette tablets come as 75 microgram film-coated tablets containing desogestrel, and those using it should take one per day at approximately the same time.
If you miss a pill but realise within 12 hours then simply take the pill as soon as you remember, and then take the next one at your normal time. You will still be protected against pregnancy within this time frame. If you are more than 12 hours late with a missed pill then you should still take it as soon as you remember and take the next one at the normal time (this may mean taking two pills in one day, which is fine). However, you may no longer be protected against pregnancy and should use additional methods of contraception for the next 7 days.
If you vomit within 3 - 4 hours after taking your Cerazette tablet or have severe diarrhoea, then the active ingredient may not have been completely absorbed. Follow the same advice for forgotten tablets as above and use additional contraception as required.
Breast cancer has been found slightly more often in women who take the Pill than in women of the same age who do not take the Pill. If women stop taking the Pill, this reduces the risk, so that 10 years after stopping the Pill, the risk is the same as for women who have never taken it. Either way, you should check your breasts regularly and notify your doctor if you notice any lumps or changes.
Deep venous thrombosis is a rare occurrence. It can develop whether or not you are taking the Pill, however, the risk is higher for those who are taking it. You should notify your doctor immediately if you notice any signs of development.
The most common side effects of using Cerazette include:
If you do experience one or more of these side effects and they persist or worsen, then inform your doctor right away. You should also contact your doctor immediately if you experience any serious side effects, such as signs of a blood clot, breast cancer or liver problems.
