Mirena IUD

About this product:
MIRENA IUD contains levonorgestrel, a hormone commonly used in birth control pills. It does not contain estrogen. Mirena IUD slowly releases small amounts of levonorgestrel into your uterine lining. It may stop your ovaries from releasing eggs, thin the lining of your uterus and keep sperm from reaching and fertilizing the eggs.

It is estrogen-free, 99.9% effective and can be used for up to 5 years. Once in place, the IUD works entirely on its own. Mirena is also reversible when you want it to be. Please note that Mirena IUD does not provide protection against HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases.
