Desogen (ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel) contains a combination of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This medicine also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.

Desogen is a birth control pill used for contraception to prevent pregnancy.

Desogen may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
