Clinical Pharmacology

COCs lower the risk of becoming pregnant primarily by suppressing ovulation. Other possible mechanisms may include cervical mucus changes that inhibit sperm penetration and endometrial changes that reduce the likelihood of implantation.

Non-Clinical Toxicology
Do not prescribe Junel Fe 24 to women who are known to have the following conditions:

Some studies have shown that simultaneous sucralfate administration in healthy volunteers reduced the extent of absorption (bioavailability) of single doses of the following: cimetidine, digoxin, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, ketoconazole, l-thyroxine, phenytoin, quinidine, ranitidine, tetracycline, and theophylline. Subtherapeutic prothrombin times with concomitant warfarin and sucralfate therapy have been reported in spontaneous and published case reports. However, two clinical studies have demonstrated no change in either serum warfarin concentration or prothrombin time with the addition of sucralfate to chronic warfarin therapy.

The mechanism of these interactions appears to be nonsystemic in nature, presumably resulting from sucralfate binding to the concomitant agent in the gastrointestinal tract. In all cases studied to date (cimetidine, ciprofloxacin, digoxin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, and ranitidine), dosing the concomitant medication 2 hours before sucralfate eliminated the interaction. Due to Sucralfate Oral Suspension's potential to alter the absorption of some drugs, Sucralfate Oral Suspension should be administered separately from other drugs when alterations in bioavailability are felt to be critical. In these cases, patients should be monitored appropriately.

Thrombotic Disorders and Other Vascular Problems: Stop Junel Fe 24 if a thrombotic event occurs. Stop at least 4 weeks before through 2 weeks after major surgery. Start no earlier than 4 weeks after delivery, in women who are not breastfeeding. ()

Liver disease: Discontinue Junel Fe 24 if jaundice occurs. ()

High blood pressure: If used in women with well-controlled hypertension, monitor blood pressure and stop Junel Fe 24 if blood pressure rises significantly. ()

Carbohydrate and lipid metabolic effects: Monitor prediabetic and diabetic women taking Junel Fe 24. Consider an alternative contraceptive method for women with uncontrolled dyslipidemia. ()

Headache: Evaluate significant change in headaches and discontinue Junel Fe 24 if indicated. ()

Bleeding Irregularities and Amenorrhea: Evaluate irregular bleeding or amenorrhea. ()
