When looking for contraception consider the best Cerelle contraceptive pill. It’s available to buy Cerelle pill online UK via My Pharmacy UK.

There are two types of hormone contraceptives. The combined pill, otherwise known as “The Pill”, contains two types of female sex hormones called oestrogen and progestogen. Whilst the progestogen only pill, otherwise known as POP, doesn’t contain oestrogen.

Cerelle Contraceptive Pill is a progestogen only pill (POP). Cerelle tablets 75mcg contains a small amount of one type of female sex hormone, the progestogen called desogestrel.

The majority of POPs work by primarily preventing the sperm cells from entering the womb but don’t always prevent the egg from ripening, which is the main way that combined pills work. In this case however, Cerelle is different from the majority of POPs. In most cases the dose prevents the egg cell from ripening, resulting in a highly effective contraceptive.

Cerelle Desogestrel is a type of female sex hormone called a progestogen. It is commonly used to prevent pregnancy and can be more than 99% effective if taken correctly.

Along with norethisterone, Cerelle Desogestrel is one of the only progestin’s that is widely used as a POP (Progestogen only pill). Furthermore, it is the only newer-generation progestin that has reduced androgenic activity, lowering the function of the reproductive tract.

For further information about how to take Cerelle please refer to the patient information leaflet for more of a general overview.

Always ensure that you are taking this exactly as your doctor told you to and are not getting second hand information on how to take Cerelle.

Every strip of Cerelle contains 28 tablets. Printed on the front side of the strip are the days of the week with arrows pointing, helping you to take the pill correctly. One tablet should be taken daily, with each at approximately the same time each day. Each pill should be swallowed whole with water.

If you missed Cerelle Missed Pill or have forgotten to take it, you should follow the advice below:

If it’s less than 12 hours late, take the Cerelle missed pill as soon as your remember and take the next at the usual time. Contraceptive pill Cerelle will still protect you from pregnancy.
If it’s more than 12 hours late:
You may not be entirely protected from pregnancy. The more tablets you have missed the higher the risk that you might fall pregnant.
Again, take the tablet as soon as you remember and take the next at the usual time. This could mean taking two in one day. This is not harmful. Continue to take the tablets normally but extra methods of contraception should be used, such as a condom, for the next seven days.
If it’s more than 12 hours late and you have had sex it is safe to use emergency contraception. Please consult with your pharmacist or doctor.
If you missed one or more tablets in the very first week of starting the tablet and had intercourse in the week before missing the tablets, you may still fall pregnant. Ask your doctor for advice.

Bleeding on Cerelle may occur at irregular intervals whilst taking it. This can range from slight stains that may not require a pad, or heavier bleeds, which look rather like a small Cerelle period. This may need the use of tampons or sanitary towels. You may also not have any bleeding on Cerelle at all.

Irregular bleeding on Cerelle is not a sign that it isn’t working. Generally no action will be needed and you can continue taking Cerelle normally. If the bleeding increases or becomes heavier you should consult with your doctor.

Whilst Cerelle Weight Gain is not caused on its own, Cerelle does increase a person’s appetite and in some cases also reduces it. If you become aware of Cerelle Weight Gain and an increase in appetite, you can start planning and changing your eating habits to help reduce the probability of putting on unwanted weight.

If you find that Cerelle Weight Gain is too much to handle or you don’t know how to circumvent it, finding an alternate birth control option should be your first priority.

There is no difference between Cerelle vs Cerazette. They both have the same ingredients and should only differ in cost. However even though the difference between Cerelle vs Cerazette is just the name, some people report that one or the other has achieved better results for them.

Some people complain of migraines or irregular Cerelle period and once switched to the opposite pill they clear up.

Key facts about Cerelle

Taken by most women, including breastfeeding mothers, heavy smokers and those with high blood pressure, migraine or a risk of blood clots.

Cerazette is 99% effective when taken correctly, but missing pills, vomiting, diarrhoea and taking certain other medicines can make it less effective. See below.

One Cerelle tablet should be taken every day, at the same time each day. With this type of pill you don't have a break between packs.

If you're more than 12 hours late taking a pill you won't be protected against pregnancy and you'll need to use condoms for the next two days. See below.

Cerelle won't protect you against sexually transmitted infections; you'll still need to use condoms for that.

Who shouldn't take Cerelle?

Cerelle can be taken by most women, including women who can't take oestrogen-containing contraceptives. However, it may not be suitable for women with:

Abnormal vaginal bleeding that hasn't been investigated by a doctor.
Breast cancer or a history of breast cancer. (But, your doctor may say you can take Cerazette if you have been free of cancer for five years and you don't want to use non-hormonal methods of contraception.)
Liver cancer or severe liver cirrhosis.
Serious arterial disease, eg that has caused a stroke, angina or heart attack.
Rare metabolic disorders called acute porphyrias.

Read the leaflet that comes with your pills, or talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist if you want any more information about the possible side effects of Cerelle. If you think you've experienced a side effect, did you know you can report this using the yellow card website?

POP prevents pregnancy by thickening the mucus in the cervix to stop sperm reaching an egg. The desogestrel progestogen-only pill can also stop ovulation. Progestogen-only pills contain the hormone progestogen, but don't contain oestrogen. You need to take the progestogen-only pill reliably every day and if taken correctly, it's more than 99% effective. You take a pill every day, with no break between packs of pills. The progestogen-only pill can be used by women who can't use contraception that contains oestrogen. You can take the progestogen-only pill if you're over 35 and you smoke. You must take the progestogen-only pill at the same time each day. If you take it more than 3 hours late (traditional progestogen-only pill) – or 12 hours late (desogestrel pill) – it may not be effective. If you're sick (vomit) or have severe diarrhoea, the progestogen-only pill may not work. Some medicines may affect the progestogen-only pill's effectiveness – ask your doctor for details. Your periods may stop or become lighter, irregular or more frequent. Side effects may include spotty skin and breast tenderness – these should clear up within a few months. You'll need to use condoms as well as the progestogen-only pill to be protected against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). How to take the progestogen-only pill There are 2 different types of progestogen-only pill: 3-hour progestogen-only pill – must be taken within 3 hours of the same time each day 12-hour progestogen-only pill (desogestrel progestogen-only pill) – must be taken within 12 hours of the same time each day. You can start the progestogen-only pill at any time in your menstrual cycle. If you start it on day 1 to 5 of your menstrual cycle (the first 5 days of your period), it'll work straight away and you'll be protected against pregnancy. You won't need additional contraception. If you have a short menstrual cycle, you'll need additional contraception, such as condoms, until you've taken the pill for 2 days. If you start the progestogen-only pill on any other day of your cycle, you won't be protected from pregnancy straight away and will need additional contraception until you've taken the pill for 2 days. After having a baby If you've just had a baby, you can start the progestogen-only pill on day 21 after the birth. You'll be protected against pregnancy straight away. What to do if you miss a pill If you forget to take a progestogen-only pill, what you should do depends on: If you're less than 3 or less than 12 hours late taking the pill (depending on the pill you take). take the late pill as soon as you remember, and take the remaining pills as normal, even if that means taking 2 pills on the same day. Risks The progestogen-only pill is very safe to take. But, as with the combined contraceptive pill, there are certain risks. For most women, benefits of the progestogen-only pill outweigh the risks. Ovarian cysts Some women can develop fluid-filled cysts on their ovaries. These aren't dangerous and don't usually need to be removed. The cysts usually disappear without treatment. In many cases, the cysts don't cause symptoms, although some women experience pelvic pain. Breast cancer Research is continuing into the link between breast cancer and the progestogen-only pill. There isn't enough evidence to say for certain that the progestogen-only pill doesn't increase the risk of breast cancer. But if there is any increased risk, it's likely to be very small and disappear with time after you stop taking the progestogen-only pill. Doctors don't think using the progestogen-only pill is likely to increase the risk in women who have close relatives who have had breast cancer.
