Description
CONCEPTA Tablets are a highly effective, prescription-only progestogen-only oral contraceptive (POP), commonly known as the “mini-pill.” Each tablet contains Desogestrel 75 micrograms (mcg) as its active ingredient. Unlike combined oral contraceptives, CONCEPTA Tablets do not contain estrogen, making them a suitable option for women who cannot use estrogen-containing pills due to medical conditions or personal preference, such as breastfeeding mothers. This contraceptive works primarily by thickening the cervical mucus, creating a barrier that makes it difficult for sperm to reach the egg. Additionally, Desogestrel often prevents ovulation, providing reliable protection against pregnancy. When taken consistently at the same time every day, without interruption, CONCEPTA Tablets offer high contraceptive efficacy. It is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage regimen meticulously and consult a healthcare professional for guidance on initiation, missed pills, and any potential side effects.
