Desogestrel 75mcg tablet
Desogestrel is a progesterone-only contraceptive pill (also known as the mini pill) used to prevent pregnancy. It is suitable for women who cannot take oestrogen-containing contraceptives, including those who are breastfeeding or have certain medical conditions.
Desogestrel works primarily by stopping ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). It also thickens cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to enter the womb, and thins the lining of the uterus to reduce the likelihood of implantation.
When taken correctly, desogestrel is a highly effective form of contraception and provides continuous protection without the need for a break between packs.
