What is Junel Fe 1.5/30

NorethisteroneThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryNorethisterone (also known as norethindrone) is a synthetic hormone that works in the body like progesterone. It is a second-generation progestin and is more potent than natural progesterone. It is used alone or with other hormones for contraceptive or hormone replacement therapy. Norethisterone was first developed in 1951 in Mexico City and was originally used to treat menstrual irregularities and endometriosis. It was not used as a birth control pill until 1962.

Effectiveness

How Junel Fe 1.5/30 Affects PatientsNorethisterone is a type of medication taken orally to prevent pregnancy or to treat other hormone-related conditions such as menopause and endometriosis. It works by affecting the hormones in the body that are involved with ovulation and the growth of the uterus lining. Taking norethisterone has been linked to a small increased risk of developing breast cancer, so patients should be aware of this and do regular self-exams to check for any developing masses.
How Junel Fe 1.5/30 works in the bodyNorethisterone works by binding to progesterone receptors in various parts of the body. It thickens cervical mucus to prevent sperm from entering the uterus, and makes the endometrium inhospitable for implantation. It also suppresses hormones like FSH and LH, preventing ovulation and corpus luteum development. When used in hormone replacement therapy in menopausal women, it prevents endometrial hyperplasia and thus lowers cancer risk. Norethisterone has a low affinity for other steroid receptors and can cause side effects like acne and changes in lipids.

Junel Fe 1.5/30 for Absence of Menstrual Periods
I started taking BC to skip my period. I have only experienced headaches all the time and very painful calf muscle cramps. I have to stop taking it because the pain is unbearable at times ??

Junel Fe 1.5/30 for Abnormally Long or Heavy Periods
I had a really terrible experience with Junel. I started experiencing extreme headaches, bleeding, sadness, and a total loss of interest in sex within the first two weeks. My moods were all over the place—to the point where my job was suffering. I got back in touch with my doctor and he put me back on Tri-Sprintec.

Junel Fe 1.5/30 for Painful Periods
I would not recommend this birth control to anyone. I've been on it for two months and have started experiencing symptoms of depression and extreme mood swings. Yes, it prevents pregnancy; however, the negative side effects are simply not worth it in my opinion.
