Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Taking Trimethoprim reduces the effectiveness of Cerazette.I advise you to visit your Doctor for an alternate drug.You can continue the drug and adopt another contraceptive method like calender method , barrier methods to ensure effective contraception.
If you need more information feel free to mail me.
Take care
