FDA APPROVES PARAGARD IUD FOR WOMEN WHO HAVE NOT YET HAD CHILDREN

September 15, 2005

FEI Women's Health announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration accepted several revisions to the prescribing label for the ParaGard Copper T 380A Intrauterine Copper Contraceptive, an Intrauterine Device (IUD). Until recently, IUDs were only recommended for women in mutually monogamous relationships with at least one child. Now, the FDA has approved the hormone-free ParaGard IUD as the only IUD indicated for women in all stages of reproductive life-from age 16 to menopause-who are in stable relationships and therefore not at high risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or HIV.
