The doctor should guide the dose and how often you take it. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. You should take this medicine for as long as it is prescribed for you. If you missed your dose and you are late by 12 hours in taking the missed dose, in that case, you must use a condom during intercourse for a period of 2 days.

Cerazette Tablet can often disrupt your menstrual cycle, so consult your doctor if this happens regularly. Before using this medication, inform your doctor if you have a history of diabetes, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or high blood pressure. Your doctor should also know about all other medicines you are taking, as many of these may make this medicine less effective or change the way it works. Generally, if you experience vomiting within 2 hours of dose intake, take another dose as soon as you feel better.

Uses of Cerazette Tablet

Benefits of Cerazette Tablet

Contraception
Cerazette Tablet is a contraceptive medicine that stops you from getting pregnant in multiple ways. Firstly, it prevents an egg from being released from your ovaries. Secondly, it makes the fluid (mucus) in your cervix thicker, which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the womb. Additionally, it prevents thickening of the lining of your womb, thereby making it unfavourable for an egg to grow in it. Cerazette Tablet is a reliable and safe method for contraception, if used correctly. It does not interrupt with sex and you can lead a normal routine life without any worries. Take it as directed by the doctor to get the most benefit.

Side effects of Cerazette Tablet

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
Common side effects of Cerazette
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Weight gain
  • Irregular menstrual cycle

How to use Cerazette Tablet

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Cerazette Tablet may be taken with or without food.

How Cerazette Tablet works

Cerazette Tablet is a progestin (female hormone). It works by preventing the release of an egg from the ovary or preventing the fertilization of the egg by sperm. It may also work by changing the lining of the uterus (womb) and increasing the thickness of cervical mucus to prevent pregnancy.

Quick tips

  • Take Cerazette Tablet at the same time every day without skipping any days, even between packs.
  • 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 Cerazette Tablet, take another pill as soon as you feel well.
  • It may stop your periods or make them lighter, irregular, or more frequent. Inform your doctor if this bothers you.
  • 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, or vision changes. These could be the symptoms of a blood clot in a vein.
