Paragard is a small IUD (intrauterine device) that prevents pregnancy for as long as you want—up to 10 years. It works differently using one simple active ingredient—copper—instead of hormones.

Important Safety Information

IUDs, including Paragard, have been associated with an increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Don’t use Paragard if you have a pelvic infection, certain cancers, a copper allergy, Wilson’s disease, or PID.
If you miss a period, have persistent abdominal pain, or if Paragard comes out, tell your healthcare provider (HCP). If it comes out, use back-up birth control.
Paragard may attach to or go through the uterus and cause other problems.
Pregnancy with Paragard is rare but can be life threatening and may cause infertility or loss of pregnancy.
Periods may become heavier and longer with spotting in between. Bleeding may be heavier than usual at first.
Paragard does not protect against HIV or STDs.

Only you and your HCP can decide if Paragard is right for you. Available by prescription only.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA at www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
