Description

How Does Cerazette Work?

When an egg produced from the ovaries is fertilised by sperm, pregnancy occurs. During a typical period, the ovaries release one egg each month. This process is known as ovulation. Cerazette suppresses the release of an egg by boosting progesterone levels. It also thickens the cervical fluid, preventing sperm from entering the womb and fertilising any released eggs.
