Jencycla How to Take

Jencycla (Norethindrone) belongs to the class of medications called oral contraceptives (birth control pills). It is a progestin birth control medication used for the prevention of pregnancy. Progestins can prevent fertilization by preventing a woman's egg from fully developing and by causing thickening of the cervical mucus. Progestin-only pills (without estrogen added) are often called the mini pill.

Jencycla (Norethindrone) may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Jencycla (Norethindrone) may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Jencycla (Norethindrone) may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Jencycla (Norethindrone) for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Jencycla (Norethindrone), speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Jencycla (Norethindrone) without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Jencycla (Norethindrone) to anyone else. It can be harmful for people to take Jencycla (Norethindrone) if their doctor has not prescribed it.

Jencycla Dosage

Jencycla (Norethindrone) is taken as one tablet daily, at the same time every day, with or without food. See the package insert for information on where in your cycle to start and what to do if you forget to take a pill.

Take one tablet daily for 28 days then start a new pack on the next day. Do not wait any days between packs. Your period should occur during the last seven days of using the pill pack. Continue to take Jencycla (Norethindrone) every day, even if you are having some menstrual bleeding.

You may wish to use a second method of birth control (e.g., latex condoms and spermicidal foam or gel) for the first 48 hours of the first cycle of pill use. This will provide a backup in case pills are forgotten while you are getting used to taking them.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to take Jencycla (Norethindrone) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The effectiveness of Jencycla (Norethindrone) depends on taking the medication at the same time each day. If you forget to take a pill, refer to the package insert for information on how to proceed. If you miss pills at any time, or are late taking a pill by 3 hours or more, the risk of becoming pregnant increases. Refer to your package insert information for instruction on when you will need to use a second method of birth control. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Jencycla (Norethindrone) at room temperature, protect it from moisture and keep it out of the reach of children.

Women with cervical cancer should not use birth control pills, as the role of female sex hormones in cervical cancer has not been fully determined.

Depression: Women with a history of depression may be more likely to have a recurrence while taking birth control pills. If you have a history of depression or other mental health conditions, discuss with your doctor how Jencycla (Norethindrone) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Jencycla (Norethindrone), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Diabetes: Jencycla (Norethindrone) may cause slight increases in blood sugar levels (may cause a loss of blood glucose control) and glucose tolerance may change. People with diabetes may find it necessary to monitor their blood sugar more frequently while using Jencycla (Norethindrone).

If you have diabetes, discuss with your doctor how Jencycla (Norethindrone) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Jencycla (Norethindrone), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Irregular menstruation: Irregular menstrual patterns are common among women using progestin-only birth control pills. If you notice changes in your usual menstrual patterns, check with your doctor. If you go a prolonged time without bleeding, you should have a pregnancy test.

Laboratory tests: Progestin-only birth control pills may affect how some laboratory tests work. If you are having blood tests to check your Thyroid or a Pap smear, let your doctor know that you are taking Jencycla (Norethindrone).
