Cerelle (84 tablets)

Cerelle (Desogestrel) 75mcg Tablets
Prescription-Only Medication (POM)

Product Overview:
Cerelle is a progestogen-only contraceptive pill, containing 75mcg of the active ingredient Desogestrel. It provides effective and reliable contraception for women by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg), thickening the cervical mucus to prevent sperm entry, and altering the lining of the womb to prevent implantation. Cerelle offers a convenient, hormone-based contraceptive solution, ideal for women who need a daily oral contraceptive without the combined hormonal options.

Indications:
Cerelle is prescribed for the prevention of pregnancy and is suitable for women who require progestogen-only contraception. It is especially beneficial for women who cannot or prefer not to use combined hormonal contraceptives, such as the combined oral contraceptive pill.

Dosage and Administration:

• Take one tablet of Cerelle daily, at the same time each day, without a break between packs, unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare professional.

• Cerelle can be taken with or without food, but consistency in timing is key to ensuring maximum effectiveness.

• If a tablet is missed, follow the guidelines in the patient information leaflet or consult a healthcare provider for advice on what steps to take.
