Safely Buy Copper T IUD 380A ( Intrauterine Device ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

The Copper T 380A is an intrauterine device (IUD) used for contraception. It is also known as the ParaGard T 380A.

This product is a small, flexible device that is placed in the womb (uterus) to prevent pregnancy. It is used by people who want a reversible birth control method that works for a long time (up to 10 years). This device helps prevent pregnancy.

Using this product does not protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, gonorrhea, or chlamydia).

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. It is left in place for up to 10 years. After the device is placed, schedule a follow-up visit after your first menstrual period to make sure it is still in the proper position.

This device may sometimes move out of place or come out by itself. It is a good habit to check once a month 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 backup 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 10 years, the used device may be removed and replaced with a new one. Either way, the used device should be removed after 10 years. Your healthcare provider can remove this device whenever you want to stop using this method of birth control.
