Desomono Progesterone-Only Pill is a branded form of Desogestrel, a daily contraceptive pill also known as the ‘mini pill’. This is because it contains desogestrel (a synthetic form of progesterone), but no oestrogen. It helps stop pregnancy by preventing your ovaries from releasing an egg and thickening cervical mucus.
If you’re looking for a reliable contraceptive pill that doesn’t contain oestrogen, Desomono could be a great option. If you’re sensitive to combined pills or are breastfeeding, it may be suitable for you. A quick consultation with a licensed prescriber will help you decide.
Yes, Desomono contains the active ingredient Desogestrel, which is marketed under other brand names. These include Cerazette, Cerelle, Hana, and Feanolla. The medicine works the same regardless of brand or packaging. Just make sure you obtain it from a licensed UK pharmacy to ensure it’s safe and effective.
Desomono contains Desogestrel, which is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. The main way Desomono works is by preventing you from ovulating. This is because it stops your eggs from ripening, and means your body doesn’t release an egg, leaving nothing to fertilise. It also thickens your cervical mucus so that it’s harder for sperm to enter. Combined, these two actions help prevent pregnancy.
Take one tablet each day at roughly the same time. It doesn’t matter when you take it in the day, as long as it’s consistent each day. Swallow each tablet whole with water. Follow the arrows on the back of the blister packet so you can always easily check if you’ve taken your daily tablet. When you finish a pack, start the next one the next day without leaving a break.

Desomono is a branded version of a progesterone-only pill (POP) that uses a synthetic form of progesterone called Desogestrel. It’s a type of daily contraceptive pill that only has progesterone, making it ideal for people who can’t tolerate oestrogen. It helps prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation and thickening cervical mucus.
Yes, Desomono oral contraceptive is a prescription-only medication, which means you need to obtain it from a licensed prescriber like a GP or pharmacist. After a short consultation, they’ll determine if Desomono is right for you. If approved, they’ll issue you a prescription, and you can get the medicine.
You should ideally take Desomono from the first day of your menstrual period. Take one tablet at the same time every day and don’t take a break between packs. The blister packet has the days of the week printed on it so you can easily check if you’ve taken each day’s tablet.
This depends on when in your menstrual cycle you first took Desomono. If you start taking Desomono on the first day of your period, it will provide protection from pregnancy straight away. Otherwise, you should use a barrier method of contraception for the first seven days.
You shouldn’t take Desomono if you’re allergic to Desogestrel, soya or peanuts. If you have severe liver disease, unexplained bleeding, breast cancer, or a history of blood clots, you should speak to your prescriber about alternatives that may be suitable for you.
It doesn’t matter what time you take Desomono, as long as you take it at the same time every day. Choose a time that fits with your daily routine, like in the morning or before bedtime. Consistent timing is the best way to ensure you stay fully protected.
Progesterone-only pills (POP) are suitable for people who are sensitive to combined pills, or who can’t take oestrogen for other reasons, such as if they’re breastfeeding. These contraceptives offer reliable protection against unwanted pregnancy when you take them as directed.
Some people may have side effects while taking Desomono. Common ones include mood changes, low sex drive, headaches, nausea, acne, breast tenderness, irregular bleeding, or slight weight gain. These are usually mild, but if side effects bother you or don’t go away, speak to your prescriber for advice.
Some people notice slight weight gain when they take Desomono, although that doesn’t mean you’ll be affected. It could be due to water retention or appetite changes, but these could happen with any hormonal contraception. Maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise can help manage your weight while using hormonal contraception.
