Cerelle and Desorex pills - are they the same?

Hello! So I've been on Cerelle for almost a year and it's been great re pains and whatnot, but I just picked up my prescription and it's the Desorex pill. My GP said it should be fine but to check with my pharmacist and they keep cutting the lines/not answering when I go to call 😫

I'm having a bit of a flare up today so I don't have it in me to actually go back since it took a lot out of me going this morning so if there's any reassurance that this is normal then I'm just gonna take it

I've been taking different pills for about 7 years and have never had it randomly change so not sure if it's an issue or not?

TIA

Hi there. Desorex and Cerelle are both progesterone only pills. My doctor once said a different name to me when talking about the pill, I corrected her and said I’m on Cerelle and she explained Cerelle is just a brand name. Very confusing x
