An Introduction to Kelnor Side Effects

As with any medicine, Kelnor™ (ethynodiol diacetate/ethinyl estradiol) can cause side effects. However, not every woman who uses it will experience side effects. In fact, most women tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider. Many of the common side effects of Kelnor may improve within the first few cycles of use.

Common Kelnor Side Effects

Only vague information is available about possible Kelnor side effects. In fact, the side effects listed in the prescribing information for Kelnor are actually side effects of all birth control pills in general. Some of the common bothersome (but not usually dangerous) side effects of birth control pills include:

Bloating
Breast tenderness and other breast changes, such as swelling
Nausea and vomiting
Changes in your eyes that make it more difficult to wear contact lenses
Headaches (although birth control pills can improve headaches in some women)
Breakthrough bleeding and spotting between periods (this tends to go away with time)
Changes in sex drive.
