What Is Cerelle?

Cerelle is a contraceptive tablet and a progestogen-only pill (POP), sometimes referred to as the ‘mini-pill’. Each tablet contains the active ingredient desogestrel, a type of progestogen hormone.

• Cerelle is taken every day without a break between packs.

• It is used as a regular method of contraception, unlike emergency contraception, which is taken after unprotected sex.

• During treatment, it is recommended to attend yearly check-ups with your GP to ensure Cerelle remains safe and suitable for you.

How Does It Work?

Each Cerelle tablet contains 75 micrograms of desogestrel, a synthetic progestogen hormone.

Desogestrel prevents pregnancy through two main mechanisms:

1. Prevents sperm from entering the womb.

2. Stops ovulation, meaning no egg is released from the ovary.

Progestogen-only pills like Cerelle work differently from combined oral contraceptives (COCs), which contain both a progestogen and an oestrogen. Cerelle is a suitable alternative for women who cannot take oestrogen-based contraceptives.

Cerelle Missed Pill

• Less than 12 hours late: Take the missed tablet as soon as you remember. Your contraceptive protection will not be affected.

• More than 12 hours late: The contraceptive effect may be reduced.

  1. Take the missed tablet immediately.

  2. Take your next tablet at the usual time, even if it means taking two tablets in one day.

  3. For the next 7 days, use an additional form of contraception, such as condoms, to ensure protection.

⚠️ The risk of pregnancy increases the more tablets are missed, so it’s important to follow these instructions carefully.

Alternative Contraception

There are several progestogen-only pills (POPs) available in the UK, including:

• Cerazette

• Norgeston

• Noriday

• Micronor

• Feanolla

A cheaper generic version of desogestrel may also be prescribed as an alternative.

Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are a different type of pill, as they contain both oestrogen and progestogen. Examples include:

• Logynon

• Femodene

• Rigevidon

• Mercilon

⚠️ Contraceptive pills, including Cerelle, do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Use condoms to reduce the risk of STIs during unprotected sex.
