Cerelle is not suitable for women who are allergic to desogestrel or any other ingredients in it (see the information leaflet that comes with your treatment for the full list of ingredients). It’s also unsuitable for women who have thrombosis.
If you have or have had jaundice, or if you have or you may have breast cancer, Cerelle isn’t suitable (as cancer can worsen if you take certain hormones). It’s not an appropriate pill for women who have any unexplained vaginal bleeding either.
Cerelle may also not be a suitable option for women who have diabetes, epilepsy, high blood pressure or depression or mood changes.
If you have any illnesses or medical conditions, tell us during your consultation.
