Few Important things To Know About Norgeston

Norgeston is a mini-pill which contains artificial form of progestogen (female sex hormone) called levonorgestrel. It is well known as effective as a combined contraceptive pill in preventing accidental pregnancy. Women, who are unable to deal with the side effects of oestrogen hormone, resort to this mini-pill as it only contains progestogen. It is also a safe option for women who are breastfeeding, smokers or over 35 years of age.

This oral contraceptive pill has gained immense popularity as it can help in:
  • Alleviating the uncomfortable symptoms of PMS
  • Reducing the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer
  • Reducing the likelihood of side effects
  • Making your periods lighter and less painful
The Norgeston Progestogen Only Pill stops you from getting pregnant by working in three unique ways. Firstly, it makes the cervical mucus thicker so that the entry of sperm into the womb becomes difficult. Secondly, it prevents the uterine lining from thickening due to which an egg is unable to attach itself and grow in it. Lastly, it also stops the release of egg from the ovaries each month (ovulation). However, ovulation may not be paused in all women who take the pill.

Like all medications, Norgeston can cause some side effects which are mostly mild in nature. You should inform your doctor immediately if you experience any unusual side effect after using this medication. The possible side effects are changes in menstrual bleeding, diarrhoea, nausea, breast tenderness, dizziness, headaches, abdominal pain, fatigue and vomiting.

Hormonal Contraception With Cerazette

The mini-pill is an exceptional substitute for women who experience serious side effects due to the presence of oestrogen. It is a well-tolerated pill for women who breastfeed, smoke, or are above the age of 35. The oestrogen related side effects can be listed as breast tenderness, fluid retention and headaches. Some women who switched from other combination pills to Cerazette experienced improvement in the symptoms. Each Cerazette 75mcg tablet contains desogestrel, which is an artificial form of the female sex hormone progestogen. It is considered a perfect mini-pill as it can also be taken up to 12 hours late, giving you a greater flexibility.

Just like any combined contraceptive pill, the Cerazette Progestogen Only Pill is almost 99% effective in protecting women from pregnancy. It is the only mini-pill which is likely to prevent the ovulation (release of eggs) in every instance. You need to take a pill every day as there is no break of seven days, unlike combined contraceptive pill. This medication becomes more effective if you start taking it from the first day of your period.

If you have to wait up to fifth day before starting the pill, you should use another barrier protection for the next seven days. This is usually advised to ensure that you do not conceive during this time. The doctors mostly do not prescribe this medication to women who are going to be immobile for a long time due to a major surgery. Moreover, it is also not suitable for women who have had blood clots or a history of jaundice. You can read more about this medication on ContraceptionClinic.co.uk.

Information On The Norgeston Mini Pill

Norgeston is a popular contraceptive pill, which falls under the category of progestogen only pill. This pill consists of a single synthetic hormone of progestogen as its chief ingredient. The synthetic hormone present in this pill as its chief ingredient is levonorgestrel. Combined pill, a counterpart of the progestogen only pill or a mini-pill, contains oestrogen along with progestogen and works in three different ways to prevent pregnancy. A mini-pill, on the other hand, works in just two ways to prevent a woman from conceiving.

Norgeston mini-pill is the only pill that works just like a combined pill despite the absence of a synthetic oestrogen in the pill. First, the Norgeston is a mini-pill and works to prevent ovulation, a process that occurs when an egg ripens and is released from your ovaries. This is the process that no other mini-pill except for Norgeston and Cerazette can carry out. Second, this pill prevents fertilisation of an egg by thickening the mucous present in the neck of your womb. Norgeston mini-pill makes it difficult for a sperm to travel from your vagina to the womb for fertilising an egg.
 
Finally, the womb lining is prevented from becoming thick, which does not facilitate a fertilised egg for implantation and further growth. This pill may give you the benefit of reduction in menstrual pains that you experience. It also greatly reduces the risk of side effects in comparison to a combined pill. Norgeston also reduces the risk of developing cancers of endometrium and ovary. This pill also gives you the benefit of relief from PMS symptoms that you might be suffering from.

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.

Learn More About Progestogen-Only Pill

There are many types of birth control pills that are available on the market. The progestogen-only pill (POP) is a safe pill to use. Let us have a look at some different types of POP pills so that you can choose from them. Always consult a doctor before choosing a pill.

Cerazette  
This hormonal contraceptive is also known as the mini pill or the progestogen-only pill (POP). The active ingredient of this pill is desogesterl and this is a synthetic progestogen, which is similar to natural progestogens that are produced by the body. Cerazette works by preventing the release of an egg from the ovary and this prevents ovulation. It also thickens the cervical mucus so that the sperm cannot reach the womb.

Femulen

This is also a progestogen-only pill (POP) but this medication contains etynodiol, which is synthetic progestogen and it is quite similar to natural progestogens that are produced by the body. This pill works by affecting the cervical mucus and increasing its thickness and this makes it more difficult for sperm to reach the uterus. Femulen can prevent the release of an egg from the ovaries, but this does not occur in all women who take this mini-pill.

Noriday 

These tablets should be taken regularly at the same time every day. You should start using this pill on the first day of your period and continue taking it until the pack is over. This pill is very different from the combined pill. Noriday should be taken at the same time every day and if you are more than three hours late in taking it, you will no longer be prevented against pregnancy.
