📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Copper intrauterine system is used to prevent pregnancy. Copper intrauterine system is in a class of medications called nonhormonal contraceptives. It works by slowly releasing copper into the uterine cavity which interferes with sperm transport and egg fertilization. Copper intrauterine system is an effective method of birth control but it does not prevent the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.

🛡️ Latest patent/protection date listed: FDA patent/protection data lists protections through Jun 2027. This may affect when a full generic version becomes widely available, but it is not a guaranteed launch date.
📅 FDA approved Nov 15, 1984 RLD RS ⏳ ~0.7 yr to latest listed protection

Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.

LOE
Substance patent Formulation patent Method-of-use patent Exclusivity Pediatric +6mo
🏛️FDA exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection. It’s separate from patents and may be shorter than patent protection.
🧪Product / substance patents
Patents covering the active ingredient, product, formulation, or related drug features.
🎯Method-of-use patents
Patents covering specific approved uses. These can sometimes be carved out with a “skinny label,” but not always.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
Patent
Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
Substance patent
Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
Formulation (product) patent
Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
Method-of-use patent
A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
Skinny label
A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
Exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
Paragraph IV
A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
RLD / RS
Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
TE / AB rating
FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
LOE (loss of exclusivity)
The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.

Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

Common questions
Is there a generic version of PARAGARD T 380-A IUD?
No FDA-approved generic equivalent is currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for PARAGARD T 380-A IUD. Based on the patents and exclusivity currently listed, the Orange Book estimate is that full-label generic entry may be delayed until Jun 2027 — an estimate, not a guaranteed launch date.
The FDA approved a generic — why can’t I get it at my pharmacy yet?
FDA approval and pharmacy availability are two different things. The FDA can approve a generic years before it actually reaches pharmacies, because the brand company may still hold patents or have a settlement that delays the launch. A manufacturer also has to choose to make and sell it, and have supply ready. So a drug can be “FDA-approved generic exists” and still be brand-only at the counter today.
Why do different websites show different generic release dates?
Generic availability is not based on one single date. Some sources use the first exclusivity expiration, some use the last product patent, and others use the latest method-of-use patent. Patent challenges, settlements, licenses, and label carve-outs can also change the real-world launch date. This page shows the underlying Orange Book dates so you can see why estimates may differ.
What does “FDA listed” mean?
It means the product appears in the FDA’s official NDC directory. That’s a good sign a product exists and is intended for the U.S. market, but on its own it does not confirm a pharmacy can fill it today. Where we have recent retail pricing data (NADAC) for a product, we label it “Availability likely” instead.
What does a patent or protection date mean here?
It’s the latest date currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for a patent or exclusivity on the brand product. It can affect when a full generic version becomes widely available — but it is not a guaranteed generic launch date. Generics sometimes arrive earlier (through a settlement or patent challenge) or later (a manufacturer still has to make and sell one).
What does “current Orange Book estimate” mean?
It means we are using the latest patent and exclusivity dates currently listed in the FDA Orange Book. It is not a guaranteed launch date.
Can a generic come out before the last patent expires?
Sometimes. A generic company may challenge a patent, settle with the brand manufacturer, receive a license, or obtain approval with a narrower label that avoids a patented use. In other cases, the last listed protection may delay full-label generic competition.
Can a generic come out after the listed dates?
Yes. Even after patents or exclusivity expire, a generic still needs FDA approval and a manufacturer must choose to market it. Supply, litigation, business decisions, or regulatory issues can delay actual availability.
What is the difference between patents and exclusivity?
Patents are legal protections usually issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. FDA exclusivity is marketing protection granted by the FDA. They are separate, and either one can affect generic timing.
Why are there multiple patent dates?
One drug can have several patents covering different things: the active ingredient, a formulation, a manufacturing process, or a specific approved use. That is why a page may show several expiration dates instead of one simple generic date.
Built from FDA Orange Book patent and exclusivity data. Dates are refreshed from public FDA data when available; the marker is max(latest patent expiry, latest exclusivity expiry). Paragraph-IV settlements and first-filer 180-day exclusivity can shift the real date; a method-of-use patent may allow an earlier skinny-label generic for non-protected indications. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Where does this data come from?
Patents and exclusivity from the FDA Orange Book (small-molecule drugs), refreshed from public FDA data. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Paragard is indicated for prevention of pregnancy in females of reproductive potential for up to 10 years. Paragard is a copper-containing intrauterine system (IUS) indicated for prevention of pregnancy in females of reproductive potential for up to 10 years. ( 1 )

⏱️ Dosage and Administration ~3 min read ▾

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Insert a single Paragard at the fundus of the uterine cavity. Remove Paragard no later than 10 years from the date of insertion. ( 2.1 ) Insert and remove Paragard only if you are a healthcare provider trained on these procedures.

( 2.1 ) See the Full Prescribing Information for recommended timing of insertion preparation instructions, insertion procedures, postplacement management, and instructions on removing Paragard ( 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 , 2.5 , 2.6 ) Following the insertion, examine the patient after her first menses to confirm Paragard is still in place. ( 2.5 ) Figure 1: Paragard Intrauterine System (IUS) with Insertion Tube and Solid White Rod Figure 2: Inserting Tips of T-Arms of Paraguard into Insertion Tube Figure 3: Bending T-Arms of Paraguard While in Sterile Packaging Figure 4: Inserting Tips of T-Arms of Paraguard into Insertion Tube While in Sterile Packaging Figure 5: Insertion Tube with Paraguard in Uterus Figure 6: Release of T-Arms of Paraguard in Uterus Figure 7: Placement of Paraguard in Fundus of Uterus Figure 8: Withdraw Solid White Rod from Uterus Figure 9: Appropriate Paraguard Placement in Uterus

2.1Important Dosage and Administration Instructions Paragard should only be inserted by a healthcare provider trained in Paragard’s insertion procedures, because insertion for Paragard is different from that used for other intrauterine systems. Healthcare providers should become thoroughly familiar with the product, product educational materials, product insertion instructions, and prescribing information before attempting insertion of Paragard. Insert one Paragard at the fundus of the uterine cavity [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )].

Remove Paragard on or before 10 years from the date of insertion [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.6 )]. May replace Paragard at the time of removal with a new Paragard if continued contraceptive protection is desired. Before considering use of Paragard, make sure that the female is an appropriate candidate for Paragard.

Exclude pregnancy (consider the possibility of ovulation and conception) prior to use [see Contraindications ( 4 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )].

2.2Timing of Insertion Refer to Table 1 for recommended timing of Paragard insertion. Table 1: Recommended Timing of Paragard Insertion Clinical Situation Recommended Timing of Paragard Insertion 1. Start Paragard in females not currently using contraception At any time during the menstrual cycle.

2. Switch to Paragard from an oral, transdermal, or vaginal form of hormonal contraception or an injectable progestin contraceptive At any time during the menstrual cycle; discontinue the previous method. 3.

Switch to Paragard from a contraceptive implant or other intrauterine system Same day the implant or IUS is removed (insert at any time during the menstrual cycle). 4. Insert Paragard after abortion or miscarriage Immediately after abortion, although immediate placement has a slightly higher risk of expulsion than placement at other times.

Insertion after second trimester abortion is associated with a higher risk of expulsion than insertion after a first trimester abortion. 5. Insert Paragard after Childbirth May insert immediately postpartum.

Insertion before uterine involution is complete, which may not occur until the second postpartum month, has been associated with increased risk of expulsion [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 , 5.7 )]. There appears to be an increased risk of perforation in lactating women [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )].

2.3Preparation Instruction Before insertion: Use strict aseptic techniques throughout preparation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )]. Prepare placement tools (e.g., speculum, cotton swab, tenaculum, uterine sound, scissors, and forceps). Place the package containing Paragard (face-up), sterile card, and solid white rod on a sterile field (see Figure 1) and open package from the bottom end where arrow says “open”.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~3 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Ectopic Pregnancy: Promptly evaluate women who become pregnant for ectopic pregnancy while using Paragard. ( 5.1 ) Risks with Intrauterine Pregnancy : Increased risk of spontaneous abortion, septic abortion, premature delivery, sepsis, septic shock and death if pregnancy occurs. Remove Paragard if pregnancy occurs with Paragard in place.

( 5.2 ) Sepsis: Group A streptococcal infection has been reported; strict aseptic technique is essential during insertion ( 5.3 ) Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) and Endometritis: Before using Paragard, consider the risks of PID and endometritis. Promptly assess and treat patients with signs and symptoms of PID. ( 5.4 ) Embedment : Surgical removal may be necessary.

( 5.5 ) Perforation : May reduce contraceptive effectiveness and require surgery. Risk is increased if inserted in lactating women and may be increased if inserted in women with fixed, retroverted uteri or noninvoluted uteri. ( 5.6 ) Expulsion: Partial or complete expulsion may occur.

Remove a partially expelled Paragard. ( 5.7 ) Bleeding patterns: May be altered and result in heavier and longer bleeding with spotting. ( 5.9 ) MRI Safety Information : Patients using Paragard can be safely scanned with MRI only under certain conditions.

( 5.10 ) MR Symbol

5.1Ectopic Pregnancy Evaluate for possible ectopic pregnancy in any female who becomes pregnant while using Paragard because a pregnancy that occurs with Paragard in place is more likely to be ectopic than a pregnancy in the general population. However, because Paragard prevents most pregnancies, females who use Paragard have a lower risk of an ectopic pregnancy than sexually active females who do not use any contraception. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy in the clinical trials with Paragard (which excluded females with a previous history of ectopic pregnancy) was approximately 0.06%.

Ectopic pregnancy may require surgery and may result in loss of fertility.

5.2Risks with Intrauterine Pregnancy If intrauterine pregnancy occurs with Paragard in place and the strings are visible or can be retrieved from the cervical canal, remove Paragard because leaving it in place may increase the risk of spontaneous abortion and preterm labor. Removal of Paragard may also result in spontaneous abortion. In the event of an intrauterine pregnancy with Paragard, consider the following: Septic Abortion In females becoming pregnant with an intrauterine system (IUS), including Paragard in place, septic abortion, with septicemia, septic shock, and death, may occur [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )].

Septic abortion typically requires hospitalization and treatment with intravenous antibiotics. Septic abortion may result in spontaneous abortion or a medical indication for pregnancy termination. A hysterectomy may be required if severe infection of the uterus occurs, which will result in permanent infertility.

Continuation of Pregnancy If a female becomes pregnant with Paragard in place and if Paragard cannot be removed or the female chooses not to have it removed, warn her that failure to remove Paragard increases the risk of miscarriage, sepsis, premature labor, and premature delivery. Prenatal care should include counseling about these risks and that she should report immediately any flu-like symptoms, fever, chills, cramping, pain, bleeding, vaginal discharge or leakage of fluid, or any other symptom that suggests complications of the pregnancy.

5.3Sepsis Severe infection or sepsis, including Group A Streptococcal Sepsis (GAS), have been reported following insertion of IUSs, including Paragard. In some cases, severe pain occurred within hours of insertion followed by sepsis within days. Because death from GAS is more likely if treatment is delayed, it is important to be aware of these rare but serious infections.

Aseptic technique during insertion of Paragard is essential in order to minimize serious infections such as GAS [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )]. 5… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. The data described below reflect exposure in two trials [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )]. The WHO Study 79914 was a randomized, multicenter, multinational study of copper T IUSs, including Paragard in 1,396 women outside the US.

In the WHO Study, 100% were parous and the mean age at enrollment was 29 years old. The US Composite Study was a meta-analysis that evaluated randomized, double-blind, comparative studies of copper T IUSs, including Paragard in 3,536 women in the US. In the US Composite Study, 64% were nulliparous, 49% were nulligravida, 68% were under age 25 at the time of enrollment (median age 23 years old).

Table 2 shows discontinuation rates from the two clinical studies by adverse reaction and year. Table 2: Summary of Rates* (No. per 100 Subjects) by Year for Adverse Reactions Causing Discontinuation *Rates were calculated by weighting the annual rates by the number of subjects starting each year for each of the US Composite Study (3536 subjects) and the World Health Organization (1396 subjects) trials. The following adverse reactions have also been observed: anemia, backache, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, complete or partial expulsion, prolonged menstrual flow, menstrual spotting, pain and cramping, and vaginitis.

6.2Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Paragard. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Gastrointestinal Disorders: abdominal distension, nausea General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: device breakage, pyrexia Immune System Disorders : allergy to metals, hypersensitivity Infections and Infestations: endometritis/uterine infection Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders : muscle spasms Nervous System Disorders : dizziness Reproductive System and Breast Disorders: amenorrhea Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Stevens-Johnson syndrome

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~1 min read ▾

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Use of Paragard is contraindicated for use in pregnant females because there is no need for pregnancy prevention in a female who is already pregnant and Paragard may cause adverse pregnancy outcomes. If a female becomes pregnant with Paragard in place, there is an increased risk of miscarriage, sepsis, premature labor, and premature delivery [see Contraindications ( 4 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.2 )]. Advise the female of the potential risks if pregnancy occurs with Paragard in place.

Published studies on pregnancy outcomes exposed to copper IUSs report up to 27% miscarriage when the IUS was removed compared to 77% miscarriage when the IUS remained in the uterus. Studies on Paragard and birth defects have not been conducted.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary No difference has been detected in concentration of copper in human milk before and after insertion of copper IUSs, including Paragard. There is no information on the effect of copper in a breastfed child or the effect on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Paragard and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from Paragard.

8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Paragard have been established in females of reproductive potential. Efficacy is expected to be the same for postmenarcheal females regardless of age. Paragard is not indicated in females before menarche.

8.5Geriatric Use Paragard has not been studied in women over 65 years of age and is not indicated in this population.

📋 Description 205 words ▾

11 DESCRIPTION Paragard (intrauterine copper contraceptive) is a T-shaped intrauterine system (IUS), measuring 32 mm horizontally and 36 mm vertically, with a 3 mm diameter bulb at the tip of the vertical stem. (See Figure 1) [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )]. A monofilament polyethylene thread is tied through the tip, resulting in two white threads, each at least 10.5 cm in length, to aid in detection and removal of the intrauterine system.

The T-frame is made of polyethylene with barium sulfate to aid in detecting the intrauterine system under x-ray. Paragard also contains copper (approximately 176 mg of wire wrapped around the vertical stem and an approximately 68.7 mg collar placed on each side of the horizontal arm). The total exposed copper surface area is 380 ± 23 mm².

One Paragard weighs less than one (1) gram. Paragard and its components are not made with natural rubber latex. Paragard is packaged together with an insertion tube and solid white rod in a Tyvek® polyethylene pouch that is then sterilized.

A moveable blue flange on the insertion tube aids in gauging the depth of insertion through the cervical canal and into the uterine cavity (See Figure 1) [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )].

💬 Information for Patients ~3 min read ▾

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information). Before inserting Paragard, counsel patients on the following: Sexually Transmitted Infections: Advise patients that Paragard does not protect against HIV infection and other sexually transmitted diseases. Ectopic Pregnancy: Advise patients to report pregnancies and be evaluated immediately, as a pregnancy with Paragard in place is more likely to be an ectopic pregnancy, and the risks of ectopic pregnancy include the loss of fertility [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )].

Intrauterine Pregnancy: Advise patients to report pregnancies and be evaluated immediately, as an intrauterine pregnancy with Paragard in place, may result in septic abortion, with septicemia, septic shock, and possible death. Septic abortion typically requires hospitalization and treatment with intravenous antibiotics. Septic abortion may result in spontaneous abortion or a medical indication for pregnancy termination.

A hysterectomy may be required if severe infection of the uterus occurs, which will result in permanent infertility. If Paragard remains in the uterus during a pregnancy, there is an increased risk of miscarriage, sepsis, premature labor and premature delivery. Advise patients that a pregnancy must be followed closely and advise patients to report immediately any symptom, such as flu-like symptoms, fever, chills, cramping, pain, bleeding, vaginal discharge or leaking of fluid, or any other symptom that suggests complications of the pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )].

Sepsis: Advise patients that sepsis may occur after insertion of Paragard and to seek immediate treatment for fever and pelvic pain that occurs soon after insertion, as untreated sepsis can result in death [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )]. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease: Advise patients that pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) may occur after insertion of Paragard and that PID can cause tubal damage leading to ectopic pregnancy or infertility, or can necessitate hysterectomy, or cause death. Advise patients to recognize and report promptly any symptoms of PID including development of menstrual disorders (prolonged or heavy bleeding), unusual vaginal discharge, abdominal or pelvic pain or tenderness, dyspareunia, chills, and fever [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )].

Embedment, Perforation, and Expulsion : Advise patients regarding the risks of embedment, perforation, and expulsion and inform patients that in some cases, removal of Paragard may be difficult and surgical removal may be necessary. Inform patients that perforation can cause infection, scarring, damage to other organs, pain, or infertility. Inform patients that excessive pain or vaginal bleeding during IUS placement, worsening pain or bleeding after placement, or the inability to feel the IUS strings may occur with IUS perforation and expulsion.

There is no protection from pregnancy if Paragard is displaced or expelled. [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 , 5.6 , 5.7 ).] Bleeding Pattern Alterations : Advise patients that heavier or longer periods and spotting between periods may occur. Instruct patients to report continued or severe symptoms to their healthcare provider [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 )]. Checking for Paragard: Advise patients to check that Paragard is still in the uterus by reaching up to the top of the vagina with clean fingers to feel the two threads.

Inform patients not to pull on the threads, which could displace Paragard. Advise patients to promptly report if there are changes in the length of the two threads, if they cannot locate the threads, or they can feel any other part of Paragard besides the threads. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Safety Information: Inform patients that Paragard can be safely scanned with MRI only under specific conditions.

Instruct patients who will have an MRI to tell their healthcare provider that they have Paragard [see Warni… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

🔬 Clinical Studies 209 words ▾

14 CLINICAL STUDIES The efficacy of Paragard for use in females of reproductive potential for prevention of pregnancy for up to 10 years was demonstrated in two trials: WHO Study 79914 was a randomized, multicenter, multinational study of copper T IUSs, including Paragard in 1,396 women outside the U.S. In the WHO study, 100% were parous and the mean age at enrollment was 29 years old. The U.S.

Composite Study was a meta-analysis that evaluated several randomized, double-blind, comparative studies of copper T IUSs, including Paragard in 3,536 women in the US. In the US study, 64% were nulliparous, 49% were nulligravida; 68% were under age 25 at the time of enrollment (median age 23 years old). The pregnancy rate in the two clinical studies with Paragard was less than 1 pregnancy per 100 women each year (see Table 3).

Table 3: Pregnancy Rates* (Number of Pregnancies per 100 Women) by Year in the WHO and U.S. Studies *Rates were calculated by weighting the annual rates by the number of subjects starting each year for each of the US Composite Study (3536 subjects) and the World Health Organization (1396 subjects) trials.

PATIENT INFORMATION Paragard® (‘par-uh-gahrd) (intrauterine copper contraceptive) Paragard® does not protect against HIV infection (AIDS) or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Read this Patient Information carefully before you decide if Paragard is right for you. This information does not take the place of talking with your gynecologist or other healthcare provider who specializes in women’s health.

If you have any questions about Paragard, ask your healthcare provider. You should also learn about other birth control methods to choose the one that is best for you. What is Paragard?

Paragard is a copper-releasing system that is placed in your uterus by your healthcare provider to prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years. Paragard can be removed by your healthcare provider at any time. Paragard does not contain any hormones.

Paragard can be used whether or not you have given birth to a child. Paragard is a small, flexible plastic “T” shaped intrauterine system with copper wrapped around the stem and placed on arms of the “T”. Two thin white threads are attached to the stem (lower end) of Paragard.

The threads are the only part of Paragard you can feel when Paragard is in your uterus; however, unlike a tampon string, the threads do not extend outside of your body. ___________________________________________________________________________________ What if I need birth control for more than 10 years? Paragard must be removed on or before 10 years from the date of insertion. Your healthcare provider can place a new Paragard during the same office visit if you choose to continue using Paragard.

What if I want to stop using Paragard? Paragard is intended for use up to 10 years, but you can stop using Paragard at any time by asking your healthcare provider to remove it. You could become pregnant as soon as Paragard is removed; however, if you do not want to become pregnant you should use another method of birth control.

Talk to your healthcare provider about the best birth control methods for you. What if I change my mind about birth control and want to become pregnant in less than 10 years? Your healthcare provider can remove Paragard at any time before the 10 years after placement.

You may become pregnant as soon as Paragard is removed. How does Paragard work? Paragard works by preventing sperm from reaching the egg, preventing sperm from fertilizing the egg, or possibly preventing attachment (implantation) in the uterus.

Paragard does not stop your ovaries from making an egg (ovulating) each month. How well does Paragard work for contraception? The following chart shows the chance of getting pregnant for women who use different methods of birth control.

Each box on the chart contains a list of birth control methods that are similar in effectiveness. The most effective methods are at the top of the chart. The box on the bottom of the chart shows the chance of getting pregnant for women who do not use birth control and are trying to get pregnant.

Paragard, an intrauterine system (IUS), is in the box at the top of the chart. Who might use Paragard? You might choose Paragard if you: want long-term birth control that provides a low chance of getting pregnant (less than 1 in 100) want birth control that works continuously for up to 10 years want birth control that is reversible want a birth control method that you do not need to take daily are willing to use a birth control method that is inserted in the uterus want birth control that does not contain hormones Do not use Paragard if you: are or might be pregnant have a condition of the uterus that changes the shape of the uterine cavity, such as large fibroid tumors have an untreated pelvic infection called pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) now have had an infection in your uterus after a pregnancy or abortion in the past 3 months can get infections easily.

For example, if you: have problems with your immune system have multiple sexual partners or your partner has multiple sexual p… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

Medicaid utilization & spend

📍 This exact package only: Medicaid data is reported per full 11-digit NDC — labeler, product and pack size — so every number here is for this package alone, not the drug overall. Other pack sizes report separately.
💊 Pharmacy benefit only: These are Medicaid outpatient pharmacy claims, billed by NDC. They exclude the medical benefit — clinic- or hospital-administered drugs billed under HCPCS J-codes — so drugs used mostly that way (e.g. Avastin, Lucentis, Keytruda) can look low or missing here. That’s expected, not an error.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by CooperSurgical, Inc.. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
CooperSurgical, Inc. is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.
