How Does Mirena (52 MG) Work?

Common Dosages
- Intrauterine Device: releasing 52 mg of levonorgestrel over a period of up to 5 years.
Typical Dosing
- Mirena is inserted once by a healthcare provider and can remain effective for up to 5 years. After this period, it should be replaced if continued contraception is desired.
