Since its introduction in 1990, the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) has played a key role shaping healthcare landscape of women. Here we explore development first LNG-IUS (Mirena®) and early clinical trials that demonstrated potential. We highlight contraceptive therapeutic benefits Mirena®, discuss how practice been changed since other long-acting reversible methods. The history Mirena® is rich innovation also paved way to smaller systems with lower hormone doses....

ABSTRACT With over 30 years of use, levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine systems (LNG-IUSs) have proven to be highly effective methods contraceptives. The active ingredient in LNG-IUS, levonorgestrel (LNG), is released directly into the uterine cavity, which causes suppression endometrial maturation and thickened cervical mucus. A variety LNG-IUS options exhibit well-established safety profiles efficacy, providing anywhere between 2 18 times lower systemic exposure when compared with...
