Veoza is a medication that contains desogestrel, a progestogen hormone. This hormone works by preventing ovulation, making it suitable for women who want to avoid pregnancy. Veoza is a reliable contraceptive option for women who are not able to or prefer not to use estrogen-containing contraceptives. It's particularly beneficial for women who are breastfeeding or sensitive to estrogen.

To use Veoza effectively, you should take one tablet at the same time each day, without any breaks between packs.

If you forget to take a tablet for more than 12 hours, follow the instructions in the patient leaflet.
