How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Skyla). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
The local mechanism by which continuously released LNG contributes to the contraceptive effectiveness of Skyla has not been conclusively demonstrated.
Studies of Skyla and similar LNG IUS prototypes have suggested several mechanisms that prevent pregnancy: thickening of cervical mucus preventing passage of sperm into the uterus, inhibition of sperm capacitation or survival, and alteration of the endometrium.
Following absorption, LNG is extensively metabolized.
About 45% of LNG and its metabolites are excreted in the urine and about 32% are excreted in feces, mostly as glucuronide conjugates.

Safety of the active substance

- The use of Skyla is contraindicated when one or more of the following conditions exist:.
- Pregnancy or suspicion of pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )].
- For use as post-coital contraception (emergency contraception).
