Overview
Mirena is an intrauterine therapy system by Bayer that releases the hormone levonorgestrel directly into the uterus, used for long-term contraception and related gynaecological indications.
Key Benefits
Provides a long-acting method of contraception through a T-shaped intrauterine system that gradually releases levonorgestrel. Also indicated for idiopathic menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding without an underlying cause) and for preventing endometrial hyperplasia in women receiving oestrogen-based hormone replacement therapy.
How to Use
Mirena must be inserted and removed only by a qualified healthcare professional in a clinical setting; it is not self-administered. Follow-up visits and duration of use should follow your doctor's instructions.
Active Ingredients
Levonorgestrel (micronized), 52 mg per system, releasing at a rate of 20 micrograms per 24 hours.
Precautions
For use under medical supervision only. Discuss your full medical history with your doctor before insertion, including any pelvic infection, hormone-sensitive conditions, or liver disease. Contact your doctor promptly if you experience unusual pain, bleeding, or signs of infection.
Storage
