Suggest Ideal Dosage Of Cerazette Pill Intake

Hi, I have only taken the Cerazette pill for a month and I have missed one day of taking the pill. Tomorrow I should be getting a new pack. Can I carry on taking the pill instead of waiting until I start my first period again to stay fully protected?

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Cerazette is oral contraceptive pill contain progesterone only.
It contain 28 tablets and should be started from the first day of cycle.
As you missed one tablet, you have to take as early as possible with in 12 hour. If 12 hours has been crossed then its effectiveness will decrease and you should use barrier method for next 7 days.
so carry on the remaining tablet and you should use pill according to arrow direction on behind the pack.
Do not wait for bleeding. You have to start the new pack once the old pack has been finished and without wait for bleeding.
If period will delay by the 10-12 days then you have to confirm the pregnancy.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
