Liletta (52 MG)
Liletta (levonorgestrel) is a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) used for the prevention of pregnancy. It releases a synthetic progestin, levonorgestrel, to provide effective contraception for up to three years. Liletta works primarily by thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, as well as thinning the uterine lining to inhibit implantation.
