Cesia is a combination oral contraceptive pill that is commonly prescribed to women to prevent pregnancy. It contains two hormones, ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel, which work together to prevent ovulation, thicken cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and thin the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg.
When taken correctly, Cesia is highly effective at preventing pregnancy, with a failure rate of less than 1%. It is important to take Cesia at the same time every day to maximize its effectiveness. It is also important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and to not skip any doses.
In addition to preventing pregnancy, Cesia may also provide other benefits such as more regular and lighter periods, reduced menstrual cramps, and improvement in acne. However, it is important to note that Cesia does not protect against sexually transmitted infections, so it is important to use additional forms of protection such as condoms if you are at risk.
Like all medications, Cesia may cause side effects in some women. Common side effects may include nausea, breast tenderness, headaches, and changes in mood. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own, but if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, it is important to contact your healthcare provider.
Overall, Cesia is a safe and effective option for women looking to prevent pregnancy. If you have any questions or concerns about Cesia or any other medications, be sure to talk to your healthcare provider.
