What is Skyla?

Skyla contains the prescription drug levonorgestrel and is manufactured by Bayer. Bayer also manufactures alternative intrauterine devices such as Mirena and Kyleena. All three of these intrauterine devices are effective birth control methods. Skyla is FDA (Food and Drug Administration)-approved for birth control to prevent pregnancy for up to 3 years. It is also indicated to treat heavy menstrual bleeding in women who prefer intrauterine contraception as their choice of contraception. Levonorgestrel is a synthetic progestin hormone and does not contain estrogen. Levonorgestrel is often used in birth control pills.

The Skyla IUD is inserted through the vagina and placed into the uterus by a healthcare professional. The device is usually inserted within 7 days after the start of a menstrual period. The Skyla IUD device releases levonorgestrel into the uterus, causing changes in your cervix and uterus. It is important to understand that Skyla should not be used for emergency contraception. Your healthcare provider can help you decide which birth control options are best for you and if an IUD is right for you, and if so, which one is best, taking into account your medical history. Skyla does not protect against HIV or STIs (sexually transmitted infections).

Skyla active ingredients

How exactly Skyla and its release of levonorgestrel (LNG) within the uterus has a contraceptive effect has not been shown clearly. It is thought that Skyla and similar LNG products have several methods of action. These include:

• Thickening of the cervical mucus, which makes it more difficult for the sperm to pass into the uterus
• Preventing sperm from maturing into sperm that are able to fertilize an egg
• Making it more difficult for the sperm to survive in the uterus
• To alter the lining of the uterus wall (endometrium)

Its effects are completely reversible, and your fertility rapidly returns – you can become pregnant as soon as Skyla is removed.

This device can move out of place or come out by itself. If it comes out contact your healthcare professional immediately and use backup birth control such as condoms and spermicide to prevent pregnancy until you are advised otherwise.

Skyla side effects

The most common side effects caused by Skyla include:

• Pelvic pain
• Ovarian cysts
• Vaginal itching or infection
• Missed or irregular menstrual periods (especially during the first 3 to 6 months), heavy bleeding, or changes in your bleeding patterns
• Temporary pain, bleeding, or dizziness during insertion of the IUD
• Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating
• Headache, migraine
• Depression, mood changes
• Back pain
• Breast pain tenderness
• Weight gain
• Acne
• Changes in hair growth
• Loss of interest in sex
• Puffiness in your face, hands, ankles, or feet

In rare instances, Skyla can cause more serious side effects. These can include:

• Severe infection or sepsis (a rare but life-threatening infection) can occur within the first few days
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• An ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy not in the uterus) – if this should occur remove the intrauterine system as leaving it in place can increase the risk of spontaneous abortion and preterm labor
• Risk of intrauterine pregnancy
• Perforation – the intrauterine device may go into the wall of the uterus or through the wall of the uterine cavity
• Severe cramps or abdominal pain
• Severely dizzy or lightheaded
• Confusion, vision problems, sensitivity to light
• Heavy vaginal bleeding, vaginal sores, unusual vaginal discharge
• Pale skin, weakness, easily bruised or bleeding, fever, chills, or other signs of infection
• Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
• Symptoms of a stroke or heart attack, such as sudden numbness or weakness, severe headache, or chest pain.

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Skyla against your risk of side effects.
