Jinteli Drug and Medication User Reviews
My insurance company forced me to switch from Prempro. I took it for 2 weeks and gained 20 pounds, even though I eat almost no carbs and run 5 miles everyday. If the weight gain was not enough, the hot flashes, and other menopausal symptoms returned with a vengeance! Thankfully, my doctor was able to convince my insurance company to cover Prempro again.
does not help with night sweats at all
switched to this due to lower price than other generics. it is useless. the night sweats have returned with a vengeance!
I have been on this drug for years. No side effects. Several months ago I went off the drug just because of my age(65). After being off it for a month I went back on it I feel so much better...
I had to switch from PremPro to this because of insurance and I hate it. Acne, sweats at night, insomnia. I did not have these issues with the other med. Going to talk to doctor and see what else we can put me on. Need generic for PremPro asap.
Love Jinteli very much. I am myself and notice nothing different!!!! Thank you!!
Not only have my DEXA scans improved, but my headaches and insomnia are resolved. Recently, I missed a couple days, I did not sleep and migraine headaches returned. Within a day of getting back on track I was sleeping and headache was gone.
I began taking this medication for menopausal hot flashes. Rather than relieving those symptoms, it gave me additional ones--severe night sweats. I had to stop taking it, which was unfortunate, because the brand name costs so much more in my prescription plan.
I've noticed some improvement in my hair growth and I have a little more energy. I've never had a problem sleeping and still don't. My hot 'spells' are mostly gone which I'm thrilled about. I'm nervous about the long term effects of taking this so I'm much more aware of changes in how I feel. I want my Dr. to test my blood at least every 6 months.
I have moderate to severe hot flashes, thinning hair.
I have tried Jintelli 3 different times in the last 3 years (about 12 months apart each time). Each time after about 2 months I experience menstrual cramps and breast tenderness for days. Previously, I had been on FemHrt for 12 years with no problems. I had switched because my insurance company will only pay for the generic. I will go back to FemHrt and pay out of pocket.
I was switched to this drug as it is supposed to be the generic equivalent of FEMHRT. In my experience, it is not. I have been taking it for 2 months and find I am back to hot flashes, sleepless nights, etc. I plan to go back to FEMHRT as soon as possible.
I am back to where I was when I began using HRT. I have benn using the generic for 3 weeks. I am angry(not just irritable) I will go back to the brand name asap.
Gained 30 lbs since starting on it 6 1/2 months ago,, no hot flases but dont sleep either!!!
I had a severe reaction to this generic brand causing pain in my legs with a severe inflammation of my skin. I now have post inflammatory hyper pigmentation on my arms and thighs. I would not recommend this generic brand to any woman. I was on this drug for one year before it was discovered that this drug was causing the problem!
Extreme insomnia and instant weight gain after 14 days on this medication. I am 50 years old and in very good health.
No problem with bleed thru. My overall well being is not as well as Femhrt, problems with insomnia. I changed to generic due to price.
Changed from FemHrt only because generic cheaper option on Tricare .Is an AB drug so should be identical Changed in 02/2011.Question time frame for adequate assessment on drug. Weight gain , increase in BP and INR seen. May relate may not. Giving drug a 3 month period. May go back to FemHrt if this continues
