Mirena IUS Now Licenced For 8 Years
The Mirena IUS (a type of hormonal coil) is now licensed for 8 years for contraception purposes.
For patients who have a Mirena already, this means that it can remain in place, and be effective, for 8 years from the fitting date. We will from now be refitting Mirenas around the 8 year date.
If a Mirena has been fitted for control of bleeding, part of HRT, or treatment for any other gynaecological problem, this does NOT apply.
The new advice does NOT apply to other IUS brands or types.
Please note that we only fit/remove coils  for contraceptive purposes.
Please call your local team to book a consultation for more information.
