Desomono Contraception
Desomono Contraception
Desomono is a progestogen only pill and works similar to the body’s natural hormone progesterone. Desomono helps women to prevent unwanted pregnancy by stopping the ovaries from releasing an egg. Desomono may not be suitable for all women, however, we can discuss your medical history and current medications before prescribing this contraception. Desomono is safe to take if you’ve just had a baby, as well as breastfeeding.
How Long Can You Take Desomono For?
Desomono is safe to be used on a long term basis, including up until menopause. You should take the pills consistently on a daily basis without any breaks in between the packs to ensure it remains effective. Because Desomono needs to be taken consistently without breaks, some women may experience spotting or changes to their menstrual cycle. Many women who take the mini pill have reported their periods have stopped altogether. Although these changes are common, they don’t make the pill is less effective. Therefore, always ensure you take the mini pills consistently for as long as you need to.
Possible Risks & Side Effect of Desomono:
Like most medicines, Desomono can cause possible side effects, however, most women may not experience them. Some of the most common side effects can include:
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Mood swings
- Loss of libido
- Breast tenderness
- Acne
- Spotting
While taking Desomono, some people may develop ovarian cysts which are fluid filled sacs on the ovaries. This is often harmless and disappear on their own without the need for intervention, however, some women may experience pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen. Although very rare, in some serious cases Desomono can cause an allergic reaction in some users. If you experience any of the above or new symptoms, always seek urgent medical advice. If you want to know whether Desomono is right for you, we can help you by discussing your medical history and needs before prescribing.
