IUDs

 

Mirena® (Intrauterine system) Hormone releasing

Mirena® is an advanced intrauterine contraceptive that provides up to five years of hassle-free, 99.9% effective birth control without the permanence of surgery. Whether you're pregnant, already a parent, or have decided your family is just the right size, Mirena® is an effective contraceptive which offers freedom from having to think about birth control.

Mirena® is an IUD (intra-uterine device) which also releases a low dose of the hormone levonorgestrel (a progestogen hormone). It can also be used to control very heavy periods (menorrhagia) provided there is no underlying serious causes. Used in this way it may be a useful alternative to hysterectomy for certain women.
