Desogestrel is a progestogen-only contraceptive that offers effective protection against pregnancy. It comes in the form of a daily pill. It can also be referred to as a progestogen-only pill (POP) or a mini-pill.
POPs are ideal for women who smoke, are overweight, are over 35 or suffer from blood clots, migraines or high blood pressure. This is because they only contain a single hormone. Contraceptives with two hormones, such as the combined pill have an increased risk of side effects.
As well as the name of a generic medication, desogestrel is the active ingredient. Generic medications are the same as their branded counterparts, but can have a lower price tag, making them ideal if purchased regularly (as is the case with contraceptive pills).
Branded versions of desogestrel include Desomono, Desorex, Cerazette, Feanolla, Zelleta and Cerelle. Some of these are available to buy from Allschoolabs.
When used correctly, desogestrel pills are more effective than other traditional mini-pills due to how they affect your ovaries.
Please note – no oral contraceptive will prevent sexually transmitted infections. You should use a condom to guard against STIs.

The active ingredient, desogestrel, mimics the effects of progesterone. Progesterone is a hormone naturally produced by a woman?s body during pregnancy. By taking it as a pill, it both thickens the lining around the cervix (so sperm cannot reach an egg) and prevents eggs in your ovaries from ripening. The combination makes it very unlikely you will become pregnant.
