- Our U.S. FDA drug-label data for Desogestrel has sections on warnings and precautions, contraindications (when it should not be used), how it works (clinical pharmacology) and overdose. That label is written for the U.S. market, so ask your pharmacist how it applies to the product you have.

- In pregnancy or while breastfeeding, do not start Famycept Tablet on your own. The decision should be made by a qualified medical professional based on the specific trimester, the condition being treated, and the safety category of the active ingredient.
