What is Liletta

Levonorgestrel

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Levonorgestrel (LNG) is a synthetic hormone similar to progesterone used in contraception and hormone therapy. Commonly known as Plan B, it is used as a single dose emergency contraceptive and as a hormone released from an intrauterine device (IUD). A subdermal implant of levonorgestrel is also available, which slowly releases the hormone over a long period. Additionally, levonorgestrel is used as a component of combination contraceptives. Levonorgestrel is the most widely used emergency contraceptive and was approved by the FDA in 1982. It is effective and does not have the same estrogen

Effectiveness

How Liletta Affects Patients

Levonorgestrel is a medication used as an emergency contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. It works by stopping ovulation, fertilization, and implantation up to 72 hours after sex. When used correctly, it is 89% effective in preventing pregnancy. When used as a hormone therapy, it helps prevent endometrial cancer caused by unopposed estrogen. Levonorgestrel implanted in the body, like an IUD, can be more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

How Liletta works in the body

Levonorgestrel works in several ways to prevent pregnancy. It suppresses the release of hormones that trigger ovulation, making it harder for an egg to be released. It also thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to move through and reach an egg. Levonorgestrel may also make it harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. Finally, when taken with estrogens, levonorgestrel helps lower the risk of endometrial cancer.

When to interrupt dosage

Liletta Reviews: What are patients saying about Liletta?

Liletta for Birth Control

I've been using this for a while now and I really love it. It's gotten to the point where I forget I even have it. Breakthrough spotting has only happened a few times and it hasn't affected my mental health like other hormonal birth controls have. The only downside is that I do get random acne spots more frequently, but that's not too big of a deal.

Liletta for Birth Control

I got this IUD to help with my heavy flow and for contraception. It does what it's supposed to, but I get nauseous more easily now. To be fair, the minipill gave me the same side effect, so I think that’s just how my body reacts to progestin. Despite the nausea, this IUD doesn’t give me any mood swings, so I can tolerate it.

Liletta for Birth Control

I've been on this treatment for two years and I'm done with it. Not only have I gained 20 pounds, but I also started experiencing anxiety in the form of intense panic attacks. Now I just feel anxious all the time. Additionally, my acne has gotten worse, my hair has changed, and my hormones are all out of whack.I had Mirena previously and it failed me by getting me pregnant, so I thought I would give something else a shot. But this was a mistake. NuvaRing is next on my list of potential treatments, if not then back to Mirena.

Liletta for Birth Control

I really dislike Liletta. The insertion was incredibly painful and I bled for a long time afterwards. My period is finally beginning to regulate, but leading up to it I feel crappy. I’ve always gotten headaches, but now my back hurts, I’m nauseous and my poor nipples are tender as hell! Don’t get me started on the BV! AND the strings poke my partner but the doctor claims that’s fine?? 10/10 would not recommend!

Liletta for Birth Control

For two years after getting this IUD, I experienced severe allergic reactions. It took a long time to pinpoint the source of the problem, but it turns out it was the IUD. It's permanently damaged my body; giving me anaphylaxis, angioedema, and drug reactions on my skin. Even after removing the IUD, I still have allergic reactions to my own progesterone.

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How is LILETTA different from Mirena?

"Mirena is more effective than Liletta, lasting for up to 5 years instead of 3. Mirena is also able to treat heavy menstrual bleeding, whereas Liletta cannot."

Answered by AI

Can LILETTA cause weight loss?

"Two brands of hormonal IUD, Mirena and Liletta, mention weight gain as a potential side effect. In a clinical study, 5.7% of users said their weight increased while using Liletta."

Answered by AI

What are the side effects of LILETTA IUD?

"Side effects that may occur after placement of the device include pain, bleeding, or dizziness. Cramps, irregular menstrual periods, and vaginal bleeding between periods (spotting) are common, especially during the first few weeks of use. Headache, nausea, breast tenderness, or weight gain may also occur."

Answered by AI

Is LILETTA a good IUD?

"IUDs are becoming more and more popular among American women. Liletta is highly effective and lasts for 3-5 years, making it an excellent option for those considering a long-lasting form of birth control!"

Sculptra + Restylane for Post-Menopausal Skin Concerns

40 - 65
Female
Montreal, Canada

The post-menopausal state is marked by a sharp decline in estrogen, leading to significant structural and functional changes in the skin, including collagen loss, dryness, thinning, and reduced elasticity. To address these concerns, aesthetic injectables products such as Sculptra® Aesthetic (poly-L-lactic-acid \[PLLA- SCA\]) and Restylane Skinboosters®\[HASBV\] (small-particle hyaluronic acid - SP-HA) can be used. PLLA-SCA stimulates collagen production via cellular activation (biostimulator), gradually improving dermal structure. HASBV enhances hydration, elasticity, and skin texture when injected under the skin. Considering that hydration and laxity represent the primary aesthetic concerns in this patient population. Targeted treatment with SP-HA (HASBV) to improve hydration and PLLA-SCA to address laxity have been shown to produce significant clinical outcomes by directly addressing these key dermal deficiencies. This approach forms the basis of the current study.

Ketamine for Pelvic Pain

18 - 89
Female
Cleveland, OH

The purpose of this research study is to see if ketamine infusion during surgery can decrease pain after surgery. Ketamine is a medication commonly used as part of anesthesia during surgery and is approved by the US FDA. Patients will be randomized to either receive standard anesthesia with OR without ketamine. The surgical procedure will be the same regardless of which group patients are randomized to. After surgery, patients will be asked to rate their pain in the post-operative observation unit and at their two-week post-operative visit. No additional visits are required for participation in this study. The investigators estimate the surveys will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Moderate Aerobic Exercise for Menstrual Symptoms

18 - 40
Female
Colorado Springs, CO

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of moderate aerobic exercise on menstrual symptom management in sedentary women both using and not using hormonal contraceptives. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there a reduction in physical and/or psychological menstrual cycle related symptom burden with participation in moderate aerobic exercise for sedentary women using and not using hormonal contraceptives? Is there a difference in physical and/or psychological menstrual cycle related symptom burden between hormonal contraceptive and non-hormonal contraceptive users? Is a moderate aerobic exercise intervention more effective in reducing physical and/or psychological menstrual related symptom burden for sedentary women using or not using hormonal contraceptives? Participants will: * Have their body composition assessed using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry pre and post exercise intervention. * Complete a Menstrual Symptom Index (MSi) to report daily menstrual cycle related symptom burden in addition to the Premenstrual Symptom Screening Tool (PSST) and Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB) questionnaire monthly. * Utilize an at-home monitor to test urinary luteinizing hormone, estrone-3-glucuronide, and pregnanediol glucuronide approximately 10 times per month and report menstrual cycle length. * Record physical activity habits by continuously wearing a wrist-based accelerometer and chest-strap heart rate monitor during planned aerobic exercise sessions and complete the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) monthly. * Maintain their usual sedentary activity habits for one menstrual cycle followed by completion of an exercise intervention designed to progress individuals to meet minimum recommended aerobic physical activity guidelines of 150 minutes per week set by the American College of Sports Medicine for two menstrual cycles.

NettleEndo for Endometriosis

22 - 45
Female
San Francisco, CA

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a wearable brain stimulation device called NettleEndo can reduce chronic pelvic pain and improve wellbeing in women with endometriosis. The study also aims to assess the safety and usability of the device when used at home over several months. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does at-home transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) reduce daily pain intensity in women with endometriosis? 2. Does the device also improve mood and sleep quality? Researchers will compare two groups-one receiving active brain stimulation and one receiving a sham (placebo) stimulation-to see if the active device provides greater improvements in symptoms. Participants will: 1. Use the NettleEndo device at home for 20 minutes per session, five times per week for 12 weeks 2. Be randomly assigned to receive either real or sham stimulation through the device 3. Complete daily and weekly symptom ratings through a mobile app 4. Wear an optional fitness tracker to collect data on sleep, movement, and heart rate variability 5. Be followed for 60 days after completing the intervention to monitor longer-term effects All activities are completed remotely using a smartphone app. Participants can contact the study team with questions at any time. The study is double-blind, meaning neither participants nor the researchers assessing outcomes will know who received active or sham treatment until the end of the trial.

Mirena for Endometrial Hyperplasia

18+
Female
Birmingham, AL

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat women with nonatypical endometrial hyperplasia (NAEH). Endometrial hyperplasia is a condition where the lining of the uterus (called the endometrium) becomes too thick. Nonatypical means that the condition is not cancerous. It is often caused by hormone imbalances in women. Symptoms can include abnormal vaginal bleeding or irregular periods. If this condition is not treated, then it may lead to cancer. Currently, there are no approved treatments for NAEH and that is why there is still an unmet medical need. The study treatment, Mirena (also known as BAY 865028), is already available as a type of birth control device. It is inserted into the uterus where it gradually releases progesterone. In this study, researchers want to find out if Mirena works for women with NAEH. They believe it can help by keeping hormone levels balanced in the body. The main purpose of this study is to show that uterine lining goes back to completely normal lining after treatment with Mirena and that its use is safe in this population. For this, the researchers will compare the number of participants with benign endometrium after 6 months of treatment with Mirena or oral MPA. The study participants will be randomly assigned into one of two treatment groups. The randomization will be done 2:1 ratio, meaning that for every two participants assigned to Mirena, one will be assigned to oral medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). Based on their group, participants will receive Mirena, which is inserted into the uterus at the start of the study, or they will take progestins once daily by mouth for 6 months. Each participant will be in the study for around 10 months with up to 5 visits to the study clinic/site. Participants will visit the study clinic: * once before the treatment starts * 3 times with a gap of 3 months between the visits during the treatment * then 1 more time after the treatment ends During the study, the doctors and their study team will: * check participant's health by performing tests such as blood and urine tests * perform vaginal ultrasound and hysteroscopy. Hysteroscopy is a minor surgical procedure where a thin camera will be inserted into the womb to check for any abnormality. Sampling of the endometrial lining (cells in the womb) will be done with a thin tube at the same time. * take samples of womb (endometrial) lining * ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatment.

Hosuton, TX

This exploratory, proof-of-concept study is a double-blind (participants and investigators will be blinded), placebo-controlled, randomized, two-arm clinical trial of Marinol \[dronabinol, synthetic Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)\] for e endometriosis-associated chronic pelvic pain (endo-CPP) with a 2:1 allocation ratio. Up to 75 subjects will be enrolled in this pilot study and randomized to receive doses of THC (up to 30 mg/day), orally, over 8 weeks. This study will be conducted at a single site; it does not include any stratifications, and there is no interim analysis planned. Notably, the goal is to determine whether there is enough evidence of the safety of THC to support the development of later-phase clinical trials. Thus, detailed developmental plans are contingent on the outcomes of this study.
