Contents of the pack and other information 1. WHAT CERAZETTE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR Cerazette is used to prevent pregnancy. Cerazette contains a small amount of one type of female sex hormone, the progestogen DESOGESTREL. For this reason Cerazette is called a progestogen-only-pill (POP). Contrary to the combined pill, the POP does not contain an oestrogen hormone next to the progestogen. Most POPs work primarily by preventing the sperm cells from entering the womb but do not always prevent the egg cell from ripening, which is the primary action of combined pills. Cerazette is distinct from most POPs in having a dose that in most cases is high enough to prevent the egg cell from ripening. As a result, Cerazette provides high contraceptive efficacy. In contrast to the combined pill, Cerazette can be used by women who do not tolerate oestrogens and by women who are breast feeding. A disadvantage is that vaginal bleeding may occur at irregular intervals during the use of Cerazette. You also may not have any bleeding at all. 2.
