Common Junel Fe Side Effects
Because
birth control pills cannot be studied against a placebo, only vague information is available about
Junel Fe side effects. In fact, the side effects listed in the prescribing information for
Junel Fe are actually the possible side effects of all birth control pills in general. Some of the common bothersome (but not usually dangerous)
side effects of birth control pills include but are not limited to:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Changes in your eyes that make it more difficult to wear contact lenses
- Bloating
- Breast tenderness and swelling
- Headaches (although birth control pills can improve headaches in some women)
- Acne (although birth control pills can also improve acne)
- Breakthrough bleeding and spotting between periods (especially for the first few cycles)
- Changes in sex drive (typically a decrease in sex drive).
Women are often concerned about weight gain due to birth control pills, but recent research suggests that birth control pills probably do not cause weight gain for most women.
