Desogestrel

Uses

Desogestrel is used for contraception.

How it Works

How Desogestrel works Desogestrel is a progestin, a type of female hormone. It functions by preventing the release of an egg from the ovary and inhibiting the fertilization of the egg by sperm. Additionally, it may alter the lining of the uterus and increase the thickness of cervical mucus to help prevent pregnancy.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Desogestrel include headache, nausea, weight gain, breast pain, acne, depression, absence of menstrual periods, mood swings, decreased libido, and irregular menstrual cycles.

Expert Advice

Desogestrel helps prevent pregnancy and is more than 99% effective when taken correctly.
Take it continuously at the same time every day, with no breaks between packs of pills.
Unlike other combined oral contraceptives, it can also be taken by women who:

Smoke
Are over 35 years of age
Are breastfeeding

If you are more than 12 hours late in taking a pill, you will not be protected against pregnancy.
Use other contraceptive methods, such as condoms, for the next two days.
If you vomit within 2 hours of taking Desogestrel, take another pill as soon as you feel well.
It may stop your periods or make them:

Lighter
Irregular
More frequent

Inform your doctor if these changes are bothersome.
Stop taking this medicine and inform your doctor immediately if you notice:

Unexplained swelling and pain in your limbs
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Severe headache
Changes in vision

These could be symptoms of a blood clot in a vein.
