Precautions

This medication should not be used in women who are pregnant or suspected to be pregnant. It should also not be administered to those with pelvic infections or uterine-related inflammation, or to those who have recently experienced an infectious miscarriage. The use of this medication is prohibited in patients with certain tumors, such as uterine cancer, cervical cancer, or breast cancer. It should not be used if there is unexplained abnormal uterine bleeding. Patients with uterine deformities or fibroids that interfere with the maintenance of the intrauterine system should not be treated with this medication. Patients with liver disease or liver tumors, as well as those allergic to any component of this medication, should avoid its use. This medication should be used cautiously after consulting a specialist, and immediate medical consultation is required if symptoms such as migraine, severe headache, jaundice, high blood pressure, or stroke occur.

During use, side effects such as headaches, depressive symptoms, abdominal pain, acne, hair loss, changes in menstrual bleeding, and spotting may occur. There may be reactions such as pain, bleeding, or fainting when inserting or removing this medication, so caution is needed. Since there is a risk of pelvic infection, it should be used only after treatment if there are sexually transmitted infections or severe infections that recur. As this medication may expel from the uterus, the thread should be checked and any abnormalities should be reported to a physician. There is a possibility of uterine perforation, so immediate examination and treatment are needed if abnormal symptoms occur after insertion. If pregnancy occurs while using this medication, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy should be confirmed, and it is recommended to remove this medication if pregnancy is confirmed.
