Mirena®

 

A Birth Control Option Without a Daily Routine

 

Want safe and effective birth control you don't have to think about taking every day, every week or even every year? That's Mirena® (levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system). All you have to do is check the threads of Mirena once a month. Your healthcare provider can show you how. If you have trouble finding the threads, be sure to use a backup form of birth control and call our medical office.

 

Mirena is made of soft, flexible plastic that's put in place by your physician during an office visit.
