Liletta is indicated for the prevention of pregnancy. It is suitable for individuals seeking long-term, reversible contraception.
Liletta releases levonorgestrel, a progestin hormone that thickens cervical mucus to block sperm, thins the uterine lining, and may suppress ovulation.
Liletta must be inserted and removed by a qualified healthcare provider. Common side effects include irregular bleeding, especially in the first months after insertion. Fertility typically returns after device removal.
