About Junel 21 Day, Junel Fe 28 Day and its cost

Junel 21 Day and Junel Fe 28 Day are combination oral contraceptive pills used primarily to prevent pregnancy. These medications contain two types of female hormones, which are an estrogen called ethinyl estradiol and a progestin called norethindrone acetate. They work by preventing the release of an egg from an ovary during the menstrual cycle. Additionally, they change the consistency of the cervical mucus and the lining of the uterus to make it harder for sperm to reach an egg or for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. The main difference between the two versions is the number of pills and the inclusion of iron in the Fe version. Junel 21 Day consists of three weeks of active pills followed by a one-week break, while Junel Fe 28 Day includes seven reminder pills that contain ferrous fumarate to help replace iron lost during the monthly period. Besides preventing pregnancy, healthcare providers may prescribe these tablets to help regulate menstrual cycles, decrease blood loss, and treat painful periods.

Junel 21 Day, Junel Fe 28 Day is made by Teva. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford Junel 21 Day, Junel Fe 28 Day?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for Junel 21 Day, Junel Fe 28 Day?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Teva has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Junel 21 Day, Junel Fe 28 Day?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Birth Control?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
