Copper IUCDs are Hormone-free, long-acting reversible contraception

Pharmacology:

U-Kare Copper IUCDs release copper ions locally in the uterus, creating a sterile inflammatory reaction that is toxic to sperm (reduces sperm motility and viability), thereby preventing fertilization. They also induce endometrial changes that make implantation unlikely. As these are non-hormonal, normal ovulatory cycles are generally maintained.

Indications for Use: 

• Routine long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) 
• Suitable for women seeking hormone-free contraception, including during lactation (as advised by a clinician) 

Variants with Duration of Contraception Protection: 

• U-Kare Cu 375 provides protection up to 5 years  

Key Advantages 

• Highly effective contraception with immediate onset after insertion 
• Single insertion with long duration protection 
• Rapid return of fertility after removal 
• No daily compliance required; no systemic hormonal effects 
• Does not protect against STIs; insertion and removal needs to be carried out by a trained healthcare provider
