Side Effects

Temporary pain, bleeding, or dizziness during and soon after placement of the device may occur. Your periods may become heavier and longer. You may also have frequent vaginal bleeding (spotting) between periods. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor promptly.

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: unusual changes in vaginal bleeding (such as continuous spotting, sudden heavy bleeding, missed periods).

The risk is greater in people who have multiple sexual partners, or infection with a sexually transmitted disease (STD), or who have had PID in the past . 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, 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, trouble breathing.

This device is placed in your uterus by a health care 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, 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.
