Is Heavy Bleeding And Dizziness Are The Side Effect Of Cerazette?
I have been on the cerazette mini pill for 2 weeks now, and it is making me feel rotten. I started my period 5 days ago, and my period has usually finished by now but this one shows no signs of stopping and I am still getting bad cramps, which is unlike me. Along with this I have been feeling sick, tired, dizzy and very VERY grouchy! Tonight I have decided to stop taking this pill, how long until it is out of my system and I can start on a different pill? (Also, how long is this bleeding likey to go on for?) Thank you! SH

Hi
Yes,heavy or irregular bleeding,headache,abdominal cramps ,dizziness and mood changes can occur with cerazzette.
The symptoms will usually reduce in the subsequent days and cycles.
Since you have stopped to take the drug,it may take a week for the effects to reduce.You can start another pill after that period.
Kindly remember that you are not completely protected against pregnancy in the pill free period.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
