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.

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.

Side Effects

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Certain enzyme-inducing medicines, such as some anti-epileptic drugs (e.g. carbamazepine, phenytoin), rifampicin, and St John’s Wort, may reduce the contraceptive effectiveness of desogestrel
  • Some antibiotics and antifungal medicines may interact and require additional contraceptive precautions
  • HIV medicines (certain antiretrovirals) can affect the metabolism of desogestrel
  • Inform your doctor of all prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products you are taking before starting this medicine

Quick Tips

  • Take your tablet at the same time every day to maintain contraceptive effectiveness — set a daily reminder if helpful
  • Do not skip the strict 12-hour window rule for this progestin-only pill, unlike combined pills which allow more flexibility
  • Use additional contraception (such as condoms) for 7 days if a dose is taken more than 12 hours late or a tablet is missed
  • Report any severe headache, leg swelling or pain, or chest pain to a doctor promptly, as these may signal rare but serious complications
