⏳ Availability & generic status
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.
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.
🛈 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.

Follow insertion instructions exactly as described. ( 2.1 ) See the Full Prescribing Information for recommended timing of insertion, preparation instructions, insertion procedures, postplacement management, and instructions on removing Miudella. ( 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 , 2.5 , 2.6 ) Patient can be re-examined as clinically indicated.
2.1Important Dosage and Administration Instructions Miudella is supplied sterile in a sealed package with a sterile single use inserter for placement. Do not open the package until required for insertion. Do not use if the seal of the sterile package is broken or appears compromised.
Before considering use of Miudella, make sure that the patient is an appropriate candidate for Miudella. Exclude pregnancy (consider the possibility of ovulation and conception) prior to use [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5) ]. Only a healthcare provider should insert Miudella.
Healthcare providers should be thoroughly familiar with the product, product educational materials, product insertion instructions, and prescribing information before inserting Miudella. The IUS is provided preloaded in the inserter (see Figure A ). Remove Miudella on or before 3 years from the date of insertion.
Replace Miudella at the time of removal with a new Miudella if continued contraceptive protection is desired. Figure A: Miudella Intrauterine System (IUS) Preloaded Inserter Figure B: Detailed diagram of Miudella Figure A Figure B
2.2Timing of Insertion Miudella can be inserted at any time during the menstrual cycle. If switching to Miudella from another contraceptive, discontinue the previous method (see Table 1 ). • Table 1: Recommended Timing of Miudella Insertion Clinical Scenario Recommended Timing of Miudella Insertion 1. Start Miudella in females not currently using contraception At any time during the menstrual cycle.
2. Switch to Miudella 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 Miudella from a contraceptive implant or other intrauterine system Same day the implant or IUS is removed (insert at any time during the menstrual cycle).
2.3Preparation for Insertion a. Ensure use of clean technique during the procedure. b. Perform a bimanual exam to establish the size, shape, and position of the uterus and to rule out abnormalities that would preclude safe placement of Miudella. c.
Gently insert a speculum to visualize the cervix. d. Thoroughly cleanse the cervix with chlorhexidine or povidone-iodine. e. Apply a sterile tenaculum to the cervix.
Apply traction with the tenaculum. Gently advance a sterile uterine sound to the fundus. Note any uterine anomaly and the depth in centimeters.
2.4Insertion Procedure Step 1 – Open the Sterile Package a. Remove the sterile packaging containing Miudella from the box. b. Inspect the packaging to confirm a sterile barrier is maintained.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of Ectopic Pregnancy : Promptly evaluate females who become pregnant for ectopic pregnancy while using Miudella. ( 5.3 ) Risks with Intrauterine Pregnancy : Increased risk of spontaneous abortion, septic abortion, premature delivery, sepsis, septic shock, and death if pregnancy occurs. Remove Miudella if pregnancy occurs with Miudella in place.
( 5.4 ) Sepsis : Group A streptococcal infection has been reported; strict aseptic technique is essential during insertion. ( 5.5 ) Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) : Promptly evaluate patients with complaints of fever or abdominal pain after insertion of Miudella. ( 5.6 ) Perforation resulting in embedment or translocation : May reduce contraceptive effectiveness and require surgery.
Risk is increased if inserted in postpartum and lactating females and may be increased if inserted in females with fixed, retroverted uteri or noninvoluted uteri. ( 5.7 ) Expulsion : Partial or complete expulsion may occur. Remove a partially expelled Miudella.
( 5.8 ) Bleeding patterns : May be altered and result in heavier and longer bleeding with spotting. ( 5.10 ) MRI Safety Information : Patients using Miudella can be safely scanned with MRI only under certain conditions. ( 5.11 )
5.1Risk of Complications Due to Improper Insertion Improper insertion of intrauterine systems, including Miudella, increases the risk of perforation, infection, undiagnosed abnormal bleeding, pregnancy loss (if pregnancy occurs with IUS in situ), and expulsion. Proper training prior to first use of Miudella can minimize the risk of improper insertion. Miudella is available only through a restricted program under a REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ].
5.2Miudella REMS Miudella is only available through a restricted program under a REMS called Miudella REMS Program to ensure healthcare providers are trained prior to first use [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Notable requirements include the following: Healthcare providers must be certified with the program by enrolling and completing training on the proper insertion of Miudella prior to first use [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Pharmacies and healthcare settings that dispense Miudella must be certified by enrolling in the REMS and must only dispense Miudella to certified healthcare providers.
Further information is available at miudellarems.com and 1-855-337-0772.
5.3Risk of Ectopic Pregnancy Evaluate for possible ectopic pregnancy in any female who becomes pregnant while using Miudella because a pregnancy that occurs with Miudella in place is more likely to be ectopic than a pregnancy in the general population. However, because Miudella prevents most pregnancies, females who use Miudella 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 Miudella was approximately 0.3%.
Ectopic pregnancy may require surgery and may result in loss of fertility. Patients who use Miudella should be informed about recognizing the signs and symptoms of ectopic pregnancy and promptly reporting them to their healthcare professional, and about the associated risks of ectopic pregnancy (e.g., loss of fertility).
5.4Risks with Intrauterine Pregnancy If intrauterine pregnancy occurs with Miudella in place and the thread ends are visible or can be retrieved from the cervical canal, remove Miudella. Leaving it in place may increase the risk of spontaneous abortion and preterm labor. Removal of Miudella may also result in spontaneous abortion.
In the event of an intrauterine pregnancy with Miudella, consider the following: Septic Abortion In females becoming pregnant with an intrauterine system (IUS), including Miudella in place, septic abortion, with septicemia, septic shock, and death, may occur. Septic abortion typically requires hospitalization and treatment with intravenous antibiotics. Septic abortion may result in spontaneous ab…

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 of 1,904 healthy 17- to 45-year-old women (mean age 27.5 ± 5.72 years) to Miudella. These data come from two multi-center contraceptive trials with a 3-year duration and a single, multi-center comparative bioavailability study with a 3 year duration, all conducted in the United States, enrolling generally healthy, postmenarcheal females to 45 years old.
In total 1,904 subjects were exposed to Miudella for one year and 916 completed three years. The data in these trials cover approximately 51,692 cycles of exposure. The following adverse reactions have been observed in ≥5% of users in clinical trials with Miudella: heavy menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea, intermenstrual bleeding, pelvic discomfort, procedural pain, pelvic pain, post procedural hemorrhage, and dyspareunia.
Table 2 shows discontinuation rates from the 3 multi-center clinical studies by adverse reaction and year. Table 2: Summary of Rates Rates were calculated by weighting the annual rates by the number of subjects starting each year. (No. per 100 Subjects) by Year for Adverse Reactions Causing Discontinuation Year 1 2 3 Number of Women at Start of Year 1,904 1,463 1,118 Bleeding/Pain Bleeding/Pain includes the preferred terms (PTs) Abdominal pain, Abdominal pain lower, Post procedural discomfort, Procedural pain, Coital bleeding, Dysmenorrhea, Dyspareunia, Heavy menstrual bleeding, Intermenstrual bleeding, Menometrorrhagia, Pelvic discomfort, Pelvic pain, Polymenorrhea, Uterine hemorrhage, Uterine spasm 8.5 5.1

There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of expulsion of Miudella in normal weight versus obese females.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Use of Miudella is contraindicated for use in pregnant females because there is no need for pregnancy prevention in a female who is already pregnant and Miudella may cause adverse pregnancy outcomes. If a female becomes pregnant with Miudella in place, there is an increased risk of miscarriage, sepsis, premature labor, and premature delivery [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.3 , 5.4) ] . Advise the female of the potential risks if pregnancy occurs with Miudella 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 Miudella 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, such as Miudella. 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 Miudella and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from Miudella.
8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Return to Fertility After Discontinuing Miudella In Study 1 (NCT03633799), return to fertility was investigated in a total of 63 women who desired pregnancy after study discontinuation and provided follow-up information. The probability to conceive within 12 months after removal of Miudella was 74.1% [see Clinical Studies (14) ].
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Miudella have been established in females of reproductive potential. Efficacy is expected to be the same for postmenarcheal females regardless of age. Miudella is not indicated in females before menarche.
8.5Geriatric Use Miudella has not been studied in women over 65 years of age and is not indicated in this population.

💬 Information for Patients ▾
17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information). Before inserting Miudella, counsel patients on the following: Sexually Transmitted Infections : Advise patients that Miudella does not protect against HIV infection and other sexually transmitted infections. Ectopic Pregnancy : Advise patients to report pregnancies and be evaluated immediately, as a pregnancy with Miudella 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 (5.3) ].
Intrauterine Pregnancy : Advise the patient to contact her healthcare provider if she thinks she might be pregnant. Inform the patient about the risks of intrauterine pregnancy while using Miudella, including the risks of leaving Miudella in place and the risks of removing Miudella or probing of the uterus. An intrauterine pregnancy with Miudella 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 Miudella cannot be removed in a pregnant patient and 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 (5.4) and Use in Special Populations (8.1) ].
Sepsis : Advise the patient that severe infection or sepsis, including Group A streptococcal sepsis (GAS), can occur within the first few days after Miudella is inserted. Instruct her to contact a healthcare provider immediately if she develops severe pain or fever shortly after Miudella is inserted, as untreated sepsis can result in death [See Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ]. Pelvic Infection : Advise the patient about the possibility of pelvic infections, including PID, after insertion of Miudella and that these infections can cause tubal damage leading to ectopic pregnancy or infertility, or infrequently can necessitate hysterectomy, or cause death.
Teach patients to recognize and report to their healthcare provider promptly any symptoms of pelvic infection.
