Hi, I use the contraceptive pill Cerazette and have irregular periods. However, I am going on holiday soon and obviously don t want to be on my period. I was wondering if I took Norethisterone to delay my period would Cerazette still be an effective contraceptive? Please write back. Thanks
No, you can't take both medications simultaneously as they both are progestins and can cause potential side effects. You should continue taking Cerazette.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

You cannot take both medications side by side, because both are progestins and their over-dosage will cause magnified side effects. You should continue Cerazette.
