Pregnancy warning
Use during pregnancy only on medical advice.
Desogestrel is a hormonal contraceptive from the progestin class, used to prevent pregnancy. It is a third-generation progestin that works by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus (thereby preventing sperm from reaching the egg), and altering the uterine lining, reducing the chances of implantation of a fertilized egg.
Desogestrel is commonly used in oral contraceptives, either as part of combined pills (with an estrogen) or as a progestin-only pill (mini-pill), making it a suitable option for women who cannot use estrogens. It is taken daily, at the same time, to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Side effects may include irregular bleeding, headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes, or weight gain. In rare cases, it may increase the risk of blood clots. It is important to use the medication as directed by a doctor and to inform the doctor of any pre-existing conditions.
