What is Desogestrel used for?

Cerazette is primarily used for contraception, preventing ovulation to reduce the risk of pregnancy. It may also be prescribed to regulate menstrual cycles or alleviate symptoms like heavy bleeding. Desogestrel, the active ingredient, works by thickening cervical mucus and thinning the uterine lining. Many people ask, 'What is Cerazette used for?' beyond contraception, and it is sometimes used to manage hormonal imbalances.
