Zelleta Contraceptive Pill

Zelleta is a female contraceptive pill that falls under the category of being a ‘mini pill’. This is because they rely on a single ingredient, progesterone. The progesterone in Zelleta is actually a synthetic form called desogestrel. As a progesterone-based contraceptive pill, you have a larger window to take your pill, 12 hours to be exact. This pill is perfect for women who cannot, or do not want to, use combination pills. 

Zelleta’s active ingredient, desogestrel, is a synthetic version of the female sex hormone progesterone. Desogestrel works by changing the functionality of the female reproductive system. It will increase the amount of mucus that is produced in the cervix, making it harder for sperm cells to reach the uterus. It also changes how an egg is formed in the uterus, meaning that an egg is not released by the ovaries. 

Zelleta Pill

When you receive Zelleta, it is important that you read through the patient information leaflet that is provided with the medication in order to understand how to use the medication properly. You should take one Zelleta pill per day, usually at around the same time to ensure it is effective. You should use all of the medication that you have, and should not have a break when you run out of tablets. If you miss a dose you should take another as soon as possible, even if you have to take two tablets in a day. 

Here are some of the main benefits of Zelleta:

• It can be used by people of all ages.
• It provides relief from premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
• It can also provide relief from endometriosis.
• It will minimise the likelihood of you getting a period.

Each pill of Zelleta will contain 75mcg of desogestrel. This will effectively prevent any unwanted pregnancy from unprotected sex. At UK Meds, you can purchase packet sizes of 84 and 168 tablets. This would mean that you would have enough tablets for 12 or 24 weeks of pills respectively.
