Cerazette contains desogestrel and has a 12-hour missed pill window compared to the 3-hour window of older mini pills. PBS-listed in Australia.
Cerazette is a progestogen-only pill containing desogestrel 75mcg. Unlike traditional mini-pills, Cerazette has a primary mechanism of action of ovulation suppression in addition to thickening cervical mucus, which makes it more forgiving if a pill is taken late.
Cerazette has a wider 12-hour window for missed or late pills compared to the 3-hour window of norethisterone and levonorgestrel-based mini-pills. This makes it a more flexible option for women with variable daily schedules.
PBS-listed in Australia, Cerazette is an excellent choice for women who want the safety of a progestogen-only pill with the added reassurance of ovulation inhibition. It is suitable during breastfeeding and for women with oestrogen contraindications.
