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.

Side Effects

  • Irregular menstrual bleeding
  • Headache
  • Acne or oily skin
  • Breast tenderness
  • Weight changes
  • Mood changes
  • Nausea
  • Decreased libido

Contraindications

  • Known or suspected pregnancy
  • Current or past breast cancer
  • Active severe liver disease or liver tumours
  • Unexplained vaginal bleeding that has not been investigated by a doctor
  • Known hypersensitivity to desogestrel or any component of the tablet

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Reduced contraceptive effectiveness with enzyme-inducing medicines such as certain anti-epileptic drugs (e.g. carbamazepine, phenytoin) and the antibiotic rifampicin
  • St John’s Wort, an herbal supplement, can also reduce contraceptive reliability
  • Severe vomiting or diarrhoea shortly after taking a dose may reduce absorption and effectiveness
  • Additional contraceptive precautions may be advised when taking interacting medicines — discuss with your doctor

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

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.
