Please complete this form to request the copper IUS implant through your GP practice.
An IUS is a small plastic device that’s put into your uterus (womb) and releases a progestogen hormone. This is similar to the natural progesterone produced by the ovaries.
The IUS works as contraception for three or five years depending on the type.
There are different types and sizes with different amounts of the progestogen hormone.
If you’re aged over 45 when a particular type of IUS (Mirena) is fitted, it’ll work as contraception until after the menopause when contraception isn’t needed
Please click the link below for more information on the Mirena coil
