Cerazette Contraceptive Pill

Cerazette is an effective contraceptive pill that helps with the prevention of unplanned pregnancy. It is a progesterone-only pill that has the active ingredient desogestrel. This active ingredient is a synthetic version of the female sex hormone progesterone.

Cerazette is an ideal form of contraception for women who cannot take oestrogen. If you are breastfeeding, a smoker, or overweight, then progesterone-only pills like Cerazette are safer to use. If used correctly, Cerazette is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

Cerazette works in two different ways. Firstly, it thickens the fluid in the cervix; making it a lot more difficult for sperm to enter the womb and fertilise any eggs that are released.

Secondly, it increases progesterone levels in such a way that prevents the release of an egg, stopping ovulation altogether.

Most women who take Cerazette experience changes to their periods. Typically, any irregular bleeding will be resolved within the first few months. However, if this does persist and you are concerned, then it is advised that you book an appointment with your doctor. 

The Cerazette pill can stop periods for many women, and some will not experience a period during the time they are taking Cerazette. However, this is not always the case for everyone.

If you have any questions, make sure to speak to your pharmacist or doctor.

The Cerazette Pill is considered a safe and popular form of contraception for women who are breastfeeding. It is important to note that small amounts of the hormone in Cerazette may pass into the baby's bloodstream through breast milk. However, this is not considered harmful to your baby and does not affect the way your breast milk is produced.

The Cerazette pill should always be taken at the same time each day. If you are late taking it one day, you should take it as soon as possible. If you are less than 12 hours late taking a Cerazette pill, then you are still protected and don’t need to use extra contraception when engaging in sexual activity. 

However, if you are more than 12 hours late, then there’s a good chance that you will not be protected against pregnancy. Over the course of the next two days, as you continue to take Cerazette as normal, avoid having sexual intercourse or make sure to use a condom. If you have had unprotected sex during this time, speak to your doctor or pharmacist about the morning after pill.

Cerelle is another form of the contraceptive pill. Both Cerazette and Cerelle are progesterone-only pills with the same active ingredient – desogestrel. 

The main differences between these two contraceptive pills include different brand names and the cost of each. The Cerazette pill is generally more expensive than Cerelle.

Like Cerelle and Cerazette, Norgeston is another effective progesterone-only pill. It is similar to the Cerazette pill as it should be taken at the same time every day. You should also continue to take Norgeston without a break. 

The main difference between these two pills is their active ingredient. Cerazette is made using desogestrel, whilst Norgeston contains the hormone levonorgestrel. This hormone is used in several birth control methods.

Desogestrel is the active ingredient in Cerazette. Cerazette is a branded version of the progesterone-only pill. Desogestrel is the active ingredient in several birth control pills such as Cerelle and Cerazette. Ultimately, desogestrel works by stopping a woman's eggs from fully developing each month.

There are plenty of positive reviews regarding Cerazette online. Everyone's journey with contraception is unique to them, and some people react better to Cerazette than others.

Generally, Cerazette is praised for being highly effective. It has helped many women overcome painful symptoms associated with conditions like endometriosis, as periods usually stop altogether. Most women also reported experiencing very few side effects.

The general feedback regarding Cerazette is mostly positive. It is important to note that finding the right contraception can be a process. If you are on Cerazette and you feel like it is not the right form of contraception for you, then it is advised that you make an appointment with your doctor to discuss the matter further.

You cannot buy Cerazette over the counter in the UK as it is a prescription-only medication. If you feel like Cerazette is the right form of contraception for you, then you will need to make an appointment with your doctor. They will assess whether Cerazette is safe for you to use.
