What Is The Use Of Cerazette In Cerebal Palsy?
Question: should cerazette be prescribed when person has cerebal palsy is on phenytoin + warfarin..was told it was a pain killer. Has shunt in both sides of brain, has experienced
heavy periods
heavy periods
Hi,
Thank you for writing to s
1. Cerazette (desogestrel) is a hormone based contraceptive and not a painkiller.
2. It is probably the cause of the heavy periods or has been started to treat the menorrhagia (heavy periods).
3. How severe is her cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus?
4. Phenytoin (anti-convulsant) is for controlling seizures. Why is she on Warfain (anti-coagulant) ?
5. Though there is no significant interaction between these two and cerazette, phenytoin and warfarin do.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
