Desogestrel pill is a type of oral contraceptive that is commonly known as a mini-pill. It contains the synthetic hormone desogestrel, which is similar to the hormone progesterone that is naturally produced by the female body.

Desogestrel pill works by thickening the mucus in the cervix, making it difficult for sperm to reach and fertilize an egg. It also thins the lining of the uterus, which makes it less likely for a fertilized egg to implant and grow.

Desogestrel pill is usually taken orally, once a day, at the same time every day, without any break between packs. It is a highly effective form of contraception if taken correctly, with a failure rate of less than 1%.

Common side effects of Desogestrel pill may include irregular periods, headaches, breast tenderness, nausea, and mood changes. These side effects are usually mild and go away after a few months of treatment. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, you should speak to your doctor as soon as possible.

Desogestrel pill may not be suitable for everyone, and it is important to discuss your medical history and any current medications with your doctor before starting this form of contraception. It is also important to attend all scheduled appointments with your doctor to ensure the best possible outcome of treatment.
