Desogestrel Tablets, commonly known as the Desogestrel Pill, are a progestogen-only contraceptive pill (POP) designed to help prevent pregnancy. Each tablet contains 75 micrograms of desogestrel, a synthetic form of the natural hormone progesterone that works by preventing ovulation and thickening cervical mucus to stop sperm from reaching an egg.
Contains desogestrel 75mcg, a progestogen-only contraceptive
Provides highly effective protection against pregnancy
Can be used by women who cannot take oestrogen
Taken daily at the same time each day for continuous protection
May help make periods lighter, less painful, or stop altogether
Suitable for women who are breastfeeding
The Desogestrel Pill is a reliable and convenient form of contraception that does not contain oestrogen, making it suitable for women who are sensitive to or cannot take combined hormonal contraceptives. Unlike traditional mini-pills, desogestrel offers extra protection by preventing ovulation in most users.
Take one tablet every day at the same time, with no breaks between packs. If a tablet is missed by more than 12 hours, contraceptive protection may be reduced — follow the guidance provided in the patient information leaflet.
This is a prescription-only medicine (POM). Use only as directed by your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
Do not take if you are pregnant, have unexplained vaginal bleeding, or a history of serious liver disease.
If vomiting or diarrhoea occurs within 3 hours of taking a pill, follow missed pill advice.
This medicine does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) — use condoms for protection.
Store below 25°C and keep out of reach of children.
