Important Safety Information

Do not use ParaGard^® if you have a pelvic infection, get infections easily or have certain cancers. Less than 1% of users get a serious infection called pelvic inflammatory disease. If you have persistent pelvic or stomach pain, or if ParaGard^® comes out tell your healthcare provider. If it comes out, use back-up birth control. In rare cases, ParaGard^® may attach to or go through the uterine wall and cause other problems. Although uncommon, pregnancy while using ParaGard^® can be life threatening and may result in loss of pregnancy or fertility. Bleeding or spotting may increase at first but should decrease in 2 to 3 months. ParaGard^® does not protect against HIV or STDs.
