Cerazette is a progestogen-only pill that contains the active ingredient desogestrel. It is a type of hormonal contraception that works by preventing ovulation, thickening the cervical mucus to stop sperm from reaching the egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus to prevent a fertilized egg from implanting. Cerazette is suitable for women who are looking for a reliable contraceptive option without estrogen, making it suitable for those who cannot take estrogen-containing contraceptives due to various reasons.
