Woman choosing Paragard, the only hormone-free copper IUD that is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy for up to 10 years

Paragard® is over 99% effective–one of the most effective methods of birth control available. 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.

If you decide you want to get pregnant, you can ask your healthcare provider to remove Paragard at any time. After removal, the effects of Paragard are immediately reversible.
