What precautions apply to Desogestrel?
Before prescribing Desogestrel, clinicians should evaluate patient history and risk factors. - Smoking: Advise against smoking, especially in women over 35, due to increased thrombotic risk. - Cardiovascular disease: Avoid in patients with history of stroke, myocardial infarction, or uncontrolled hypertension. - Liver disease: Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment. - Pregnancy: Not indicated for use during pregnancy; discontinue if pregnancy occurs. - Store at ambient temperature: Keep below 25 °C, in original packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight.
