Kyleena is the brand name for a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system.

Kyleena is available as an intrauterine system consisting of a T-shaped polyethylene frame with a steroid reservoir containing 19.5 mg levonorgestrel, packaged within a sterile inserter.

Kyleena is a progestin and is used to prevent pregnancy for up to 5 years.

Kyleena is a small device placed in the uterus that slowly releases a progestin hormone called levonorgestrel. This hormone prevents pregnancy by stopping your ovaries from releasing an egg. Levonorgestrel also makes it difficult for sperm to reach the egg and for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus.

Kyleena will need to be placed inside the uterus by your provider at their office. Once placed, it can prevent pregnancy for 5 years.

Kyleena is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication in the following.
