Indications
Mirena is a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) that is used for both contraception and the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding. It is a small, T-shaped device that is inserted into the uterus by a healthcare professional.
Mirena releases a hormone called levonorgestrel, which is a type of progestin, to prevent pregnancy and reduce menstrual bleeding.
Use and Dosage
Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start using this product. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
This device is placed in your uterus by a healthcare provider during an in-office visit. Schedule a follow-up visit 4 to 6 weeks after the device is placed to make sure it is still in the proper position. Depending on your product, it is left in place for up to 5 or 8 years.
Ask your doctor if you need to use a backup form of birth control for the first 7 days after this device is placed, to prevent pregnancy until the device has enough time to work.
This device may sometimes move out of place or come out by itself. After each menstrual period, check to make sure it is in the proper position. Learn how to carefully check the position of this device from the Patient Information Leaflet and/or your health care provider. If it comes out or if you cannot feel the threads, contact your doctor promptly and use a backup form of non-hormonal birth control (such as condoms, or spermicide) to prevent pregnancy until otherwise directed by your doctor.
If you wish to continue this method of birth control after 5 years (or 8 years with certain products), the used device may be removed and replaced with a new one. Either way, the used device should be removed after the specified period. Your healthcare provider can remove this device whenever you want to stop using this method of birth control.
Side Effects
Pain, bleeding, or dizziness during and after placement of the device may occur. Cramps, irregular menstrual periods, and vaginal bleeding between periods (spotting) may occur, especially during the first few weeks of use. Headache, nausea, breast tenderness, or weight gain may also occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor promptly.
After your body adjusts to this product, it is normal to have fewer bleeding days during your menstrual periods, and some women stop having periods altogether. This will not affect your ability to become pregnant after stopping the use of this product.
Remember that this medication device has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this device do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including stomach/abdominal pain, vomiting, lumps in the breast, mental/mood changes (such as new/worsening depression), unusual changes in vaginal bleeding (such as continuous spotting, sudden heavy bleeding, missed periods), dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin, unusual headaches (including headaches with vision changes/lack of coordination, worsening of migraines, sudden/very severe headaches).
Using an intrauterine device (IUD) may increase your risk for a rare but serious pelvic infection (pelvic inflammatory disease-PID), which can cause permanent damage to sex organs and infertility. The risk is greater in women who have multiple sexual partners, who are infected with a sexually transmitted disease (STD), or who have had PID in the past (see also Precautions section). Tell your doctor right away if you have symptoms of PID, including unexplained fever/chills, lower abdominal/pelvic pain, pain during sexual intercourse, genital sores, or unusual vaginal discharge.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of side effects.
Cautions
- Before using this medication device, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to levonorgestrel, or any other progestins (such as norethindrone, or desogestrel); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
- Before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: recent pregnancy, current breastfeeding, bleeding/blood disorders, high blood pressure, abnormal breast exam, cancer (especially endometrial or breast cancer), depression, diabetes, severe headaches/migraines, heart problems (such as heart valve disease, irregular heartbeat, previous heart attack), liver disease (including tumours), previous pregnancy outside the uterus (ectopic pregnancy), stroke, unexplained vaginal bleeding, uterus problems (such as fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease-PID), conditions that weaken the immune system/increase the risk of infection (such as HIV, leukemia, IV drug abuse).
- If you or your partners have other sexual partners, this device may not be the best birth control method for you. If you or your partner get a sexually transmitted disease (including HIV, gonorrhea, or chlamydia), contact your doctor right away. Ask your doctor if you should continue to use this device for birth control.
- Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products). Also, if you are going to have an MRI test, tell testing personnel that you are using this device. They may need to adjust your MRI test.

Is the Mirena IUD reversible?
Yes, the Mirena IUD is reversible. Once it is removed, fertility should return to normal.
Can the Mirena IUD be used for contraception and to treat heavy menstrual bleeding?
Yes, the Mirena IUD can be used both as a contraceptive method and to treat heavy menstrual bleeding. Consult with your healthcare provider to determine if it is the right option for you.
How is the Mirena IUD inserted?
The Mirena IUD is inserted by a healthcare provider during an office visit. The procedure involves placing the device into the uterus through the cervix. It may cause some discomfort or cramping during insertion.
