What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Liletta is an intrauterine device that releases a small amount of the hormone levonorgestrel directly into the uterus. Measuring 32 mm by 32 mm in size, the T-shaped device is made of plastic and has a removal string attached to it. Liletta works by thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching or fertilizing an egg, and by thinning the lining of the uterus which may prevent implantation.

Before you buy Liletta IUD, it is crucial that you talk to your healthcare provider about potential side effects and effectiveness.

Directions

Liletta birth control should be inserted by a trained healthcare provider. The procedure involves the following steps:

Before the insertion, a thorough medical history and a physical examination, including a pelvic exam, are conducted to ensure Liletta is suitable for the patient.

The device is inserted into the uterus through the vaginal canal.

A follow-up visit is typically scheduled about a month after the insertion to ensure the device is properly positioned. Annual check-ups are recommended thereafter.

Patients should check the presence of the removal strings shortly after each menstrual period.
