MIRENA®

MIRENA is a T-shaped intrauterine device that releases the hormone levonorgestrel directly into the uterus. This device is inserted by a healthcare professional and provides highly effective contraception for up to 5 years. MIRENA® works by thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg and thinning the uterine lining to reduce menstrual bleeding. It offers a reliable, low-maintenance solution for women seeking long-term birth control and menstrual cycle management.

Mirena birth control is a T-shaped intrauterine device (IUD). Bayer manufactures Mirena. The IUD contains levonorgestrel, a type of hormone that prevents pregnancy.

Mirena lasts for up to five years, according to 2017 Mirena prescribing information.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Mirena birth control for the U.S. market in December 2000. In 2009, the FDA approved Mirena to treat heavy periods (menorrhagia).

Main Treatment Areas

• Contraception: MIRENA provides effective birth control by preventing ovulation and creating a hostile environment for sperm. It offers a long-term solution for women looking to avoid pregnancy.
• Menstrual Bleeding Management: It is used to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding in women who experience menorrhagia, providing significant relief from excessive bleeding.

Key Benefits

• Highly Effective Contraception: With a failure rate of less than 1%, MIRENA® provides a highly reliable method of birth control.
• Reduced Menstrual Bleeding: It significantly reduces menstrual bleeding and can even stop periods altogether in some users, offering relief for women with heavy menstrual bleeding.
• Long-Term Use: The device can remain effective for up to 5 years, making it a convenient, low-maintenance option for contraception.
• Reversible: Fertility typically returns quickly after removal, making it a flexible option for women who may want to conceive in the future.
• Local Hormone Release: MIRENA® releases hormones directly into the uterus, minimizing systemic side effects compared to oral contraceptives.

Safety Information

MIRENA is generally safe when used under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Common side effects include irregular bleeding, spotting, and cramping, which often improve over time. More serious risks include uterine perforation, infection, and, in rare cases, ovarian cysts. Women with certain medical conditions or a history of pelvic infections should discuss their suitability for MIRENA® with their healthcare provider. Regular follow-ups are recommended to monitor for any potential issues.
