Mirena

Mirena Birth Control Lawsuits

Mirena can cause some serious side effects, some of which the drug manufacturer failed to warn users.

The tiny T-shaped implant can cut through a woman's uterus, travel into her body, and become lodged in a flap of peritoneal tissue known as the omentum or nearby vital organs.

Mirena Migration Symptoms

• Abdominal or pelvic pain
• Cramping
• Recurrent urinary tract infections
• Spotting or bleeding
• Blood in the urine
• Irritation while going to the bathroom

Mirena users who experience these symptoms should speak with a physician immediately to avoid permanent damage.

Mirena is an intrauterine device (IUD) that releases doses of the hormone levonorgestrel into the bloodstream for up to five years to prevent pregnancy. The FDA approved the drug as a contraceptive in 2000, but Mirena’s packaging does not warn users of the risk of migration out of the uterus.

Once Mirena embeds itself somewhere, the result can be a life-threatening infection that requires prompt removal surgery before more harm is done. If a woman becomes pregnant with Mirena, she cannot have the implant removed until she delivers the baby. Some women are having difficulties getting pregnant at all after Mirena damages their uterus.

The drug manufacturer didn't tell you that your birth control could slice into your body. If Mirena injured you, contact The Disability Guys Pennsylvania for a Mirena lawyer today. A consultation is free and only takes a moment of your time, but it could make a very big difference.

Mirena Side Effects
