What is Desogestrel used for?

Cerazette is primarily used as a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. It works by inhibiting ovulation and altering cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. Some women also use Cerazette to manage heavy or painful periods, though individual results may vary. Desogestrel, the active ingredient, is a synthetic progestin that provides continuous hormonal contraception.

What does Desogestrel interact with?

Cerazette may interact with certain medications, including those that induce liver enzymes, such as some anticonvulsants and antibiotics.
