Effectiveness

How Junel 1.5/30 Affects PatientsNorethisterone is a man-made pill used for birth control or to treat other hormone-related conditions. It acts like the hormone progesterone, but it is much more powerful. It works by changing how the cervix and uterus work, as well as by preventing hormones related to ovulation from working. Taking a combined oral contraceptive or a progestin-only pill may increase the risk of breast cancer, so patients should be aware of this and perform regular breast self-exams.
How Junel 1.5/30 works in the bodyNorethisterone is a progestin hormone that affects target cells in the reproductive tract, breast, pituitary, hypothalamus, skeletal tissue, and central nervous system. It prevents pregnancy by increasing the viscosity and content of cervical mucus, which makes it harder for sperm to enter the uterus. It also makes the endometrium inhospitable for fertilized eggs to implant. Norethisterone also suppresses the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary to prevent ovulation. When used for hormone replacement

Junel 1.5/30 for Birth Control
I love this product because it doesn't have any negative side effects like spotting or moodiness. The only downside is that it's lowered my sex drive.

Junel 1.5/30 for Birth Control
So far, so good. I haven't had any negative reaction to this medication and it's been really helpful.
4.3Patient Review
2/6/2013
Junel 1.5/30 for Painful Periods
I'm nearly done with my first pack, and it hasn't been as bad as I was expecting based on other people's reviews. I switched to this from Loestrin, which might be why it hasn't been too bad for me. I did have a few headaches, but that's normal for me anyway. I also wasn't getting my period on Loestrin, so we'll see how this goes. So far no extreme moodiness or depression, which is good. I took a pregnancy test early on because I was feeling a little nauseous, but everything came back negative

Junel 1.5/30 for Birth Control
This birth control was prescribed to me after taking Microgestion for awhile. It really helped get my body back on track; I lost the weight I gained on microgestion, got my sex drive back, and also wasn't moody anymore!

Junel 1.5/30 for Birth Control
I've been taking this pill for four months now with few issues. I occasionally get headaches, but that's normal for me anyway. Sometimes I spot depending on if I took the pill on time or not. I used to take tricyclin, and it made me an emotional wreck; however, with this medication, I'm only emotional around my period. So far, so good!
