INDICATIONS & USAGE
Mirena (levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system) is a hormone-releasing system placed in your uterus to prevent pregnancy for up to 5 years.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ABOUT MIRENA
Only you and your healthcare provider can decide if Mirena is right for you. Mirena is recommended for women who have had a child.

• Do not use Mirena if you have a pelvic infection, get infections easily or have certain cancers. Less than 1% of users get a serious infection called pelvic inflammatory disease. Talk to your healthcare provider about problems related to this condition.
• Mirena may attach to or go through the wall of the uterus and cause other problems. If Mirena comes out, use back-up birth control and call your healthcare provider.
• In the unlikely event you get pregnant while using Mirena, seek emergency care because continuing pregnancy with an intrauterine device may result in loss of pregnancy or loss of fertility.
• Ovarian cysts may occur and usually disappear.
• Bleeding and spotting may increase in the first few months and continue to be irregular. Periods may become shorter, lighter or even stop.

Mirena does not protect against HIV or STDs.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.
Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
