Paragard IUD
Information & What To Do
What Is The Paragard IUD?
Paragard is an intrauterine birth control device that uses copper instead of hormones. It is a T-shaped device with copper wrapped around both arms and the trunk. The copper produces an inflammatory reaction in the uterus that acts as a spermicide, helping to prevent fertilization. The Paragard IUD can remain inserted for up to ten years and is the only hormone-free IUD on the market, making it one of the most popular options for birth control out there.
