  WHAT DESOGESTREL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Desogestrel contains a small amount of one type of female sex 
hormone, the progestogen desogestrel. 
Desogestrel is used to prevent pregnancy. 
There are 2 main kinds of hormone contraceptive. 
•  The combined pill (COC), “The Pill“, which contains 2
types of female 
sex hormone an oestrogen and a progestogen. 
•  The progestogen-only pill, POP or mini-pill, which doesn‘t
contain 
an oestrogen. 
Desogestrel is a progestogen-only-pill (POP) or a mini-pill. 
Most POPs or minipills work primarily by preventing the sperm cells 
from entering the womb but do not always prevent the egg cell from 
ripening, which is the main way that combined pills work.
