Cerazette Mini Pill - A Daily Contraception

Women today have realised and used to their advantage the importance of contraception. Hormonal contraceptives are the most sought after contraception by women. Until recently, condoms played a major role where use of contraception was concerned. However, condoms did not prove to be completely effective in preventing a woman from being pregnant. This increased the popularity of contraceptive pills, a daily contraception, and one of the popular hormonal contraceptive methods. Known also as birth control pills, it can either be a combined or a mini-pill.

A birth control pill is composed of synthetic female hormones – oestrogen and progestogen. A mini-pill is the one which consists of a single synthetic female hormone – progestogen. As a result, it is also termed as the ‘progestogen-only pill’. Cerazette is one of the most popular progestogen only pills used by women. It consists of desogestrel, a synthetic version of progestogen, as its active ingredient. This pill is effective for women who are unable to tolerate the synthetic version of oestrogen which is present in a combined pill.

Cerazette is the only progestogen-only pill which performs all three functions that a combined pill does. It prevents ovulation along with preventing entry of a sperm by thickening the cervical mucus and thinning of womb lining. This mini-pill is required to be taken for all 28 days of your menstrual cycle, without any break in between. Another popular progestogen-only pill is Micronor. These pills can also be taken by women who are breastfeeding or have a habit of smoking and are over 35 years of age. You can buy Cerazette and Micronor online through any licensed pharmacy.
