Overview
Desirett 75mcg Tablet contains Desogestrel 75mcg and is presented as a tablet. It is supplied in a pack size of 28s.
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
Desirett 75mcg Tablet is taken continuously, one tablet every day at the same time, with no placebo tablets and no break between packs — this is a key distinguishing feature compared with combined contraceptive pills, which typically include a hormone-free or placebo interval. A new pack should be started the day after the last tablet of the previous pack, without any gap, and the tablet should be swallowed whole with water.
Dosage
The standard dose of Desirett is one 75mcg tablet taken once daily at approximately the same time each day, continued without interruption for as long as contraception is needed. Because this pill has no placebo days and a very narrow window for a missed dose to still be effective, timing consistency is more important with Desirett than with many combined pills, and any missed or delayed dose should be managed according to the product instructions or a doctor’s advice.
Shelf Life
Desirett 75mcg Tablet should be used within the shelf life stated on the packaging when stored under the recommended conditions. Do not use the tablets after the expiry date printed on the box or blister strip, and dispose of any expired or unused tablets safely.
Storage Instructions
Store Desirett 75mcg Tablet in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original blister packaging until ready for use, and store out of the sight and reach of children.

Quick Tips
- Take Desirett at the same time every day without exception, since there are no placebo days and timing matters more than with combined pills
- Do not skip or stop the pack partway through — a new pack starts immediately after the last tablet of the previous one
- If a dose is missed by more than a few hours, follow the product’s missed-dose instructions or contact your doctor promptly
- Discuss with your doctor if you experience persistent irregular bleeding, as this is common but should still be reviewed
- Tell your doctor about all other medicines, including antibiotics or herbal supplements, as some can reduce effectiveness

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 Desirett 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 Desirett 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.

Relevant Information
Because Desirett 75mcg Tablet does not contain oestrogen, it is often considered for women who are breastfeeding, who have a history of blood clots, or who have other medical reasons to avoid oestrogen-containing contraceptives. Its continuous, no-break dosing schedule is a key point of difference from combined oral contraceptives and should be clearly understood before starting, as taking it inconsistently or introducing unintended breaks can reduce contraceptive protection. Regular follow-up with the prescribing doctor helps ensure the method remains suitable and effective.
