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.

Frequently asked questions

If you vomit within 3-4 hours of taking the tablet, treat it as a missed dose and take another one.
Desogestrel is over 99% effective when taken correctly, meaning fewer than 1 in 100 women will get pregnant in a year. Missing doses or experiencing vomiting or diarrhea can reduce its effectiveness.

Common side effects include irregular vaginal bleeding, headache, nausea, acne, depression, and breast pain. Most are temporary, but consult your doctor if they persist.
