HOW
PARAGARD
WORKS.
Paragard works using just one simple active ingredient—copper, to prevent pregnancy over 99% of the time. It’s placed in your uterus by a healthcare provider during a routine office visit to prevent pregnancy for as short or long as you want-up to 10 years.
Paragard IUD placement is a non-surgical, in-office procedure performed by your healthcare provider during a routine appointment.
After you and your healthcare provider have decided that Paragard is right for you, make an appointment for placement. If your healthcare professional has Paragard in-office, you may be able to get your copper IUD placed on the same day.
HORMONE FREE.
99% EFFECTIVE.
Because Paragard is hormone free, it won’t prevent your natural menstrual cycle or stop you from ovulating each month. At first, periods may become heavier and longer with spotting in between, but many women find the changes decrease over time. For women seeking birth control without synthetic hormones, Paragard offers an ideal contraceptive solution that preserves natural fertility cycles.
Paragard is one of the most effective birth control methods available. It’s over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy and immediately reversible upon removal.
