Mirena IUS

Also known as: Levonorgestrel IUS, Mirena coil, Bayer IUS

A hormonal intrauterine system (coil) that releases a low dose of levonorgestrel locally into the uterus. In the context of HRT, it is used as the progestogen component to protect the uterine lining when combined with systemic oestrogen. Also functions as contraception.

Research Context

Research context compiled from published sources

How does Mirena IUS work?

Releases levonorgestrel locally into the endometrial cavity, suppressing endometrial proliferation. Systemic absorption is very low, which may reduce progestogen-related side effects. Also thickens cervical mucus and may suppress ovulation.
