Is Switching From Cerezette To Cerelle Safe?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Cerezette is an estrogen free, progesterone only birth control.

Cerelle is also a progesterone only contraceptive.

They both contain desogestrel in the same quantity. This means that they are essentially the same medication just branded differently.

I hope this helps
