Mirena is a popular progestin intrauterin device (IUD) that has proven itself to be highly efficient in preventing the patient (the woman) from becoming pregnant for a certain time period (in some cases, the effect lasts for 5 years). This device alters the uterus lining, therefore preventing implantation (in case the fertilization does occur).
Cautions:
Alert your personal physician if you are experiencing any of these common side effects while using Mirena: acne; breast pain or tenderness; back pain; cramps; changes in sex drive; headache; depression; hair loss; lack of menstruation; irregular bleeding; sinus infection; nausea; nervousness; skin problems; stomach pain, etc.
You should seek medical care immediately if you experience any of these severe side effects: severe allergic reactions (hives; rash; itching; breathing difficulty; chest tightness; mouth, lips, face or tongue swelling); vision changes; breast lumps; fever; chills; dizziness; genital sores; mood or mental changes, etc. Alert your personal physician if you experience anything abnormal while using Mirena.
The FDA, due to the current state of their regulations, has taken the position that virtually all shipments of prescription drugs imported from a Canadian pharmacy by a U.S. consumer will violate the law.
