You should follow your doctor's advice while using this device. Your doctor may suggest a follow-up examination after 4-12 weeks of inserting the device.Common side effects include cramps, headache, migraine, bleeding, and dizziness after device insertion. Consult your doctor if it lasts for more than 30 minutes. Before using this device, inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking as many of these may make this medicine less effective or change the way it works.
How it Works
Eloira Hormonal Intrauterine system is placed inside the womb (uterus) where it slowly releases the hormone levonorgestrel. This hormone may work in several ways. It may thicken cervical mucus, which affects sperm movement in the uterus. It also makes the lining of the uterus thinner. It may also stop the release of egg from the ovaries. These actions may held responsible for its various therapeutic effects.
