Pros and Cons of Junel Birth Control

Junel is a combined birth control pill that is used once daily orally to prevent pregnancy. The drug is administered via tablet and contains oestrogen and progestin hormones. Birth control pills work primarily by stopping an egg from being released (ovulation) throughout your menstrual cycle. Additionally, the medicine alters the thickness of vaginal fluid and the uterine lining.

Some of the tablets in this kind of birth control contain a trace quantity of iron. This is to avoid iron deficiency throughout the menstrual cycle. You should not use this birth control if you are taking any medicine that interferes with iron absorption.

Apart from preventing pregnancy, doctors use Junel birth control to treat acne, menstrual irregularities, dysmenorrhea, and more.

Inform your doctor prior to beginning Junel birth control if you have a history of any of the following:

• blots of blood
• Hypertension
• Breast examination that is abnormal
• Carcinoma (especially breast cancer or endometrial)
• Cholesterol elevation
• Gallbladder complications
• Severe headaches and migraines.
• Heart issues
• Heartbeat irregularity
• Illness of the liver

Before you start using this medicine, ensure sure your doctor is aware that you have diabetes. Junel birth control may have an effect on your blood sugar levels, so you should monitor them periodically and report the results to your physician. Inform your doctor immediately if you develop any symptoms of high blood sugar, such as increased thirst or urination.

If you think you might be pregnant or if you're breastfeeding an infant, you shouldn't use Junel birth control. Breast milk production may be reduced if you use this medicine.

Junel birth control is available in a 28-pill package, each of which contains 21 active tablets and seven inactive pills. The inactive tablets are sugar pills that are hormone-free. They contain a trace of iron and are intended to serve as a reminder to continue taking one tablet daily and to treat iron inadequacy associated with menstruation.

Take one active pill for 21 days in a row and then begin taking the seven inactive pills afterward. Start a new packet of pills once the first one is finished.

If this is your first time using hormonal birth control, begin on the first Sunday after the start of your menstruation (even if your period begins on a Sunday). To keep from getting pregnant during your first week, you should use a backup method of birth control to make sure you don't get pregnant.

Cons of Junel Birth Control

Aside from a few potentially harmful side effects, none of which are life-threatening, the vast majority of women tolerate this birth control pill extremely well.

A few people have reported experiencing some negative effects when using this oral contraceptive, most of which are minor. When patients first begin taking it, some have reported stomach trouble or a heightened sensation of anxiousness or other moodiness. Some people claim that these negative effects subside after a few cycles of use.

Bleeding that happens in the midst of your period may also occur when you first start taking it. Ankle swelling, weight gain, and an increase in blood pressure are all possible side effects of this birth control pill, like those of other oral contraceptives. Some people experience a reduction in these negative effects with time, while others do not.
