Is It Ok To Donate Blood While On Cerazette?

Hi, me and my friends have decided to do something for the community and we wanted to give blood. I know there is a lot of criteria to be able to give blood and one of them is birth control and the pill. Will I still be able to give blood even though I ve been on Cerazette for the past 3 months? Thanks

Hello,

Yes, it is ok to donate blood while on cerazette. As per the guidelines by WHO and American Red Cross women on oral contraceptive pills like cerazette or using other forms of birth control are eligible to donate.

There is no documented evidence that cerazette in donated blood have caused adverse effects in a patient receiving blood transfusion.

However, in the case of someone who is on long-term medications like cerazette for 3 months, it is best to check with your doctor for the same.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
