Oral contraceptives are an easy-to-use, convenient form of birth control, and Cesia™ (desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol) is just one of the products approved for this use. As with all oral contraceptives, you must take this drug consistently to reduce the risk of unintentional pregnancy. You might find that picking the same time every day to take Cesia, such as bedtime, makes it easier to remember.
Prior to taking Cesia, your healthcare provider needs information on your complete medical history. This includes any medical conditions you have, such as
diabetes,
depression, or liver problems, and any other medications you are taking. This form of birth control is not right for everyone, and your healthcare provider will need this and other information to make sure this product is appropriate for you.
