Introduction to Cerelle: What You Need to Know

Cerelle is a popular progestogen-only contraceptive pill (often referred to as the 'mini pill') available in the UK. Designed to prevent pregnancy, it offers women an effective hormonal birth control option without containing oestrogen.

How Does Cerelle Work?: The Science Behind the Pill

Cerelle works primarily by thickening the mucus in the cervix, making it difficult for sperm to move through and reach an egg. It also alters the lining of the womb, preventing a fertilised egg from implanting and growing. In some women, it may prevent the release of an egg from the ovaries.

Benefits of Choosing Cerelle for Birth Control

  • Suitable for women who cannot take oestrogen.
  • It can be taken up to 12 hours late (unlike other mini pills with a shorter window).
  • Reduced menstrual bleeding or stopping periods altogether for some women.

Dosage and Administration: How to Take Cerelle Correctly

Take one Cerelle pill daily, at the same time each day, without any breaks between packs. If you miss a dose, consult the patient information leaflet or speak to a pharmacist for guidance.

Potential Side Effects of Cerelle: What to Watch Out For

Like all medications, Cerelle can have side effects, though not everyone will experience them. Common side effects include:

  • Changes in menstrual bleeding patterns
  • Mood changes
  • Acne
  • Breast tenderness

Always consult a healthcare professional if you're concerned about any side effects.

Understanding the Efficacy: How Effective is Cerelle?

When taken correctly, Cerelle is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. However, its effectiveness can be reduced if pills are missed, taken late, or if there's vomiting/diarrhoea within 4 hours of taking a pill.

Missed a Dose? What to Do Next

If you miss a Cerelle pill, take it as soon as you remember. If it's been more than 12 hours since your usual time, consult the patient information leaflet or speak to a pharmacist for advice on what to do next.

Interactions and Precautions: Medicines and Conditions to Consider

Certain medications can reduce the effectiveness of Cerelle, including some antiepileptic drugs and antibiotics. Always inform your online clinician about any other medications you're taking.

Cost and Insurance Coverage: Affording Your Cerelle Prescription

In the UK, contraceptive pills like Cerelle are available free of charge on the NHS. However, if you're obtaining Cerelle privately, prices can vary. Always check with your local pharmacy or GP for the most up-to-date information.

Online Consultation Process: How to Get Cerelle Through Your Online Pharmacy

For those seeking convenience, our online pharmacy offers a simple consultation process. Fill out a health questionnaire, and our registered UK pharmacists will review it to ensure Cerelle is right for you. Once approved, your medication will be discreetly shipped to your address.

Emergency Situations: What to Do If You Think Cerelle Isn't Working

If you believe Cerelle might not be working (e.g., missed pills or potential interactions), it's essential to consult a healthcare professional immediately. In the meantime, use an additional contraceptive method, like condoms, until advised otherwise.
