About Cerazette Tablet

Cerazette Tablet is a female hormone called progestin (a form of progesterone) used to prevent unintended pregnancy and hormone therapy. Unintended pregnancy is a pregnancy that occurred either unwanted when no children or no more children were desired. Also, pregnancy is mistimed, such as the pregnancy occurred earlier than desired.

Cerazette Tablet contains 'Desogestrel', which prevents the release of an egg from the ovary (female reproductive cells) or prevents fertilization of an egg by sperm (male reproductive cells). Cerazette Tablet may also change the lining of the uterus to prevent the development of a pregnancy.
