Are cerazette effective? I had to change the combined pills for one health reason and I got cerazette, I have doubts about their effectiveness because I read on the internet a lot of opinions according to which women got pregnant on them and on the other hand I read that the pearl index is 0.4, are these pills really effective? I can not afford pregnancy at the moment, and the numerous cases of pregnancies on these pills described on the Internet do not comfort me

In the study comparing contraceptive efficacy, the overall Pearl Factor was 0.4 in the Cerazette group. It is worth adding that in this study the maximum delay in taking the tablet was 3 hours, but the documentation of the drug allows a maximum delay of up to 12 hours. According to the Cerazette documentation, "The Pearl Factor for Cerazette is comparable to the mean Pearl Factor value for combined contraceptive pills in the general population using oral contraceptives." This is due to the fact that drugs such as Cerazette - like combination tablets - block ovulation. The effectiveness of Cerazette - like all hormonal oral contraceptives - depends most on the correct and systematic intake of them by a woman. So the tablets are effective, although this effectiveness is not 100%. If even a small risk of pregnancy is unacceptable to you, you may want to consider including a condom as an extra precaution.
