Overview
USES: This product is a small, flexible device that is placed in the womb (uterus) to prevent pregnancy. It is used by women who want to use a reversible birth control method that works for a long time (up to 8 years). It is also used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding in women who choose to use this birth control method.
The device slowly releases a hormone (levonorgestrel) that is similar to a hormone that women normally make. This device and hormone helps prevent pregnancy. This product does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, syphilis).
Using an effective barrier method (latex or polyurethane condom/dental dams) during sexual activity will help to decrease your risk of infection.
