Overview
Cerazette 75mcg Tablet contains Desogestrel 75mcg and is presented as a tablet. It is supplied in pack sizes of 28s and 28s x3.
It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.
You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.
Directions for Use
Cerazette 75mcg Tablet is taken continuously, one tablet every day at approximately the same time, with no placebo tablets and no break between packs — a new pack is started immediately after finishing the previous one. Unlike the combined pill, the timing window for this progestin-only pill is stricter, so tablets should be taken within the same 12-hour window each day to maintain full contraceptive effectiveness.
Dosage
The standard dose is one 75mcg tablet daily, taken at the same time every day without interruption, for as long as contraception is needed and as advised by the prescribing doctor. If a tablet is taken more than 12 hours late, additional contraceptive precautions (such as condoms) should be used for the next 7 days as advised by a doctor or pharmacist.
Shelf Life
Cerazette 75mcg Tablet should be used before the expiry date printed on the packaging or blister strip. Do not use tablets that are past their expiry date or that appear damaged or discoloured.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture, and keep tablets in their original blister packaging until use to preserve the calendar-based tracking that helps ensure the tablets are taken correctly. Keep out of reach and sight of children.

Seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash.

How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Cerazette 75mcg Tablet be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Cerazette 75mcg Tablet registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
