ParaGard^® is indicated for intrauterine contraception for up to 10 years.

Important Safety Information

ParaGard^® does not protect against HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted infections. ParaGard^® must not be used by women who are pregnant or may be pregnant as this can be life threatening and may result in loss of pregnancy or fertility. ParaGard^® must not be used by women who have acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or current behavior suggesting a high risk of PID; have had a postpregnancy or postabortion uterine infection in the past 3 months; have cancer of the uterus or cervix; have an infection of the cervix; have an allergy to any component; or have Wilson’s disease. The most common side effects of ParaGard^® are heavier and longer periods and spotting between periods; for most women, these typically subside after 2 to 3 months. If a woman misses her period, she must be promptly evaluated for pregnancy. Some possible serious complications that have been associated with intrauterine contraceptives, including ParaGard^®, are PID, perforation of the uterus, and expulsion.
