By Cole Petrochko, Staff Writer, MedPage Today Published: October 02, 2009

WASHINGTON — The FDA has approved the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine contraceptive system Mirena as the first intrauterine device (IUD) indicated for heavy menstrual bleeding. Approval of the new indication was based on findings during the primary clinical trial of the IUD, during which women using the device, “showed a statistically significant reduction in menstrual blood loss,” said Scott Monroe, MD, director of the Division of Reproductive and Urologic Products in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, in a prepared statement. Aside from a small number of patients with small uterine fibroids, none of the participants in the trial had been diagnosed with any medical condition known to cause heavy menstrual bleeding. Common adverse effects during the trial included irregular bleeding or spotting, headache, ovarian cysts, and pelvic pain. The contraceptive is a small, flexible, t-shaped hormone-releasing device inserted into the uterus by a healthcare professional. Serious side effects to the system include: Ectopic pregnancy Intrauterine pregnancy Group A streptococcal sepsis Pelvic inflammatory disease Embedding in the uterine wall Perforation of the uterine wall or cervix The device was approved as an IUD contraceptive in 2000. The Mirena system is made by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals of Wayne, N.J.
