Liletta is a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) that releases levonorgestrel to prevent pregnancy for up to 8 years, and it is also FDA-approved to treat heavy menstrual bleeding for up to 5 years.

Enter your ZIP above to see today's price at pharmacies near you, and compare it against your insurance and the manufacturer's savings program before you fill.

What is Liletta 52 mg and how does it work?

Liletta is a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (a hormonal IUD) that contains 52 mg of levonorgestrel, a progestin hormone. Once placed inside the uterus by a trained healthcare provider, it slowly releases the hormone locally to prevent pregnancy. It is FDA-approved as long-acting reversible contraception for up to 8 years, and it is also FDA-approved to treat heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) for up to 5 years in women who choose to use an IUD for birth control.

The 52 mg dose is the same levonorgestrel dose used in Mirena. Because it is a hormonal IUD, many people notice changes in their bleeding pattern over time, ranging from irregular spotting to lighter or absent periods. Liletta is a prescription device placed in a clinical setting, so any decision about whether it is right for you should be made with your healthcare provider.

Liletta cost, manufacturer savings card, and the Rx.com cash coupon

There is no generic version of Liletta. The maker of Liletta offers an official patient savings program (described on the manufacturer's Liletta website), which is generally intended for people with commercial (private) insurance; eligibility and terms vary, and it typically cannot be used if you have government coverage such as Medicare or Medicaid. If you are uninsured, on Medicare, or the manufacturer card is declined at checkout, an Rx.com cash coupon can be used instead to help lower the cost where the device is dispensed at a pharmacy.

Because Liletta is placed during an office visit, part of your cost may run through your medical benefit rather than a pharmacy, so it is worth checking both. To compare, enter your ZIP above to see today's cash price at nearby pharmacies, then weigh that against your insurance quote and the manufacturer's savings program. Manufacturers sometimes also offer patient-assistance help for those who qualify, so ask your provider's office what options apply to you.

Liletta compared with other IUDs and alternatives

Liletta is one of several intrauterine devices, and the right choice depends on how long you want protection, whether you want a hormonal or hormone-free option, and how you want your periods to change. Hormonal IUDs use levonorgestrel; the copper IUD uses no hormones.

• Mirena — hormonal IUD with the same 52 mg levonorgestrel dose, also approved for heavy menstrual bleeding.
• Kyleena — a lower-dose hormonal IUD.
• Skyla — the lowest-dose, smallest hormonal IUD, often used for a shorter duration.
• Paragard — a hormone-free copper IUD for people who prefer no hormones.
• Levonorgestrel — the progestin hormone found in Liletta and the other hormonal IUDs.

Your provider can help you decide which device best fits your goals and health history.

Safety and important warnings

Liletta does not carry a boxed warning, but there are important risks to understand. If a pregnancy does occur while the device is in place, it is more likely to be ectopic (outside the uterus), and an intrauterine pregnancy can lead to serious complications. Serious infections have occurred, including pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and, rarely, Group A streptococcal sepsis. The device can perforate or embed in the uterus (a higher risk when breastfeeding or postpartum, or with a fixed or tilted uterus), and it can be expelled, which may leave you without contraceptive protection. Ovarian cysts and changes in bleeding, including irregular bleeding or no periods at all, are common.

Liletta should not be used during pregnancy, with a known or suspected uterine or cervical cancer, a distorted uterine cavity, current pelvic infection or high infection risk, a recent postpartum or post-abortion infection, known or suspected breast cancer or other progestin-sensitive cancer, unexplained uterine bleeding, an untreated acute cervical or vaginal infection, or acute liver disease or a liver tumor. This is general information, not medical advice. Talk with your healthcare provider about whether Liletta is safe and appropriate for you, and report severe pain, fever, or unusual bleeding right away.
