Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Problematic uterine bleeding after the insertion of the LNG IUS is a well documented side effect. The levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG IUS) was approved for treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) by the FDA in October 2009. To reduce the incidence and severity of post-insertional uterine bleeding, pretreatment with norethindrone acetate may effectively slough the endometrium prior to insertion of the LNG IUS.
