Frequently asked questions

What is Junaya used for?+
Junaya is a prescription combined oral contraceptive containing dienogest and ethinylestradiol. It is used to prevent unintended pregnancy in women of reproductive age by suppressing ovulation and creating cervical and endometrial conditions that are unfavorable for fertilization and implantation.
How does dienogest work in Junaya?+
Dienogest is a synthetic progestogen that binds to progesterone receptors, inhibiting the luteinizing hormone surge needed for ovulation. It also thickens cervical mucus and alters the endometrium, reducing the likelihood of sperm penetration and implantation when combined with the estrogen component.
What is the usual dose of Junaya?+
The dosing regimen for Junaya is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, it is taken as a daily oral tablet following the specific cycle schedule indicated on the prescription label.
Is Junaya safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Junaya is classified as pregnancy category X, meaning it must not be used during pregnancy because it can cause fetal harm. It is also not recommended while breastfeeding, as hormonal exposure may affect milk production and infant safety.
How do I order Junaya from GNH USA?+
To order Junaya, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.
How does Junaya compare with other combined oral contraceptives?+
Junaya combines dienogest, a third‑generation progestogen, with ethinylestradiol, offering a balance of contraceptive efficacy and a potentially lower risk of androgenic side effects compared with older progestins. Its safety profile and tolerability are comparable to other modern combined oral contraceptives, but individual response may vary.
What are the storage requirements for Junaya?+
Junaya tablets should be stored at ambient temperature below 25 °C. Keep them in the original blister pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure they are out of reach of children.
How is Junaya administered?+
Junaya is taken orally, usually once daily at the same time each day, following the prescribed cycle (e.g., 21 active tablets followed by a placebo week). Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not split or chew.
What are the most serious risks associated with Junaya?+
The most serious risks include venous or arterial thromboembolism, severe hypertension, hepatic adenoma, and rare allergic reactions. Women with a history of clotting disorders, smoking over age 35, or uncontrolled hypertension should avoid use.
Who should not use Junaya?+
Junaya should not be used by women who are pregnant, have known or suspected breast cancer, have a history of thromboembolic disease, are smokers over 35 years old, have uncontrolled hypertension, or have severe liver disease. Contraindications are outlined in the prescribing information.
