DESCRIPTION
Zelleta is a progestogen-only contraceptive pill, also known as the mini-pill, designed to provide effective and reliable birth control without the use of estrogen. It is particularly suitable for women who require or prefer a hormone-only contraceptive option.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Each Zelleta tablet contains desogestrel, a synthetic progestogen that mimics the natural hormone produced by the ovaries. Zelleta is packaged in a discreet and easy-to-carry blister pack, ensuring convenience for daily use. The mini-pill works primarily by thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg and may also alter the uterine lining to reduce the likelihood of implantation.
HOW TO USE
Daily Use: Take one Zelleta tablet at the same time every day without any breaks between packs. Consistent timing is essential for maintaining its effectiveness.
Start: Begin taking Zelleta on the first day of your menstrual cycle for immediate contraceptive protection. If you start at another time, use additional contraception, such as condoms, for the first seven days.
Missed Dose: If you are more than 12 hours late taking a tablet, take the missed pill as soon as you remember. Continue with the next pill at the usual time. Use backup contraception for the next two days to ensure ongoing protection.
SIDE EFFECTS
Zelleta is generally well-tolerated, but some users may experience side effects. Common side effects include irregular bleeding or spotting, headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, and mood changes. These symptoms typically decrease as your body adjusts to the medication. More serious but rare side effects can include ovarian cysts and ectopic pregnancy. If you experience severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, or signs of an allergic reaction, seek medical advice promptly.
