Jaydess (Levonorgestrel)

Levonorgestrel released from the IUS binds to progesterone receptors in the uterus, suppressing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and altering the endometrium. These actions together prevent fertilisation and implantation, delivering effective contraception.

The dose of levonorgestrel in Jaydess is fixed at 13.5 mg within the intrauterine system. The prescribing clinician determines the appropriate use and insertion timing; no patient‑adjusted dosing is required.

Jaydess must not be used in women who are pregnant. It is intended for insertion in non‑pregnant patients. Breastfeeding women may use the device, but they should discuss any concerns with their healthcare provider.

To order Jaydess, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Compared with oral progestin pills, Jaydess offers continuous low‑dose hormone delivery directly to the uterus, eliminating daily adherence requirements and often resulting in fewer systemic side effects. It provides longer protection than most short‑acting methods but requires a clinical procedure for insertion and removal.

Jaydess should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original sealed packaging. Protect the device from moisture and direct sunlight until it is inserted by a qualified healthcare professional.

Jaydess is inserted into the uterine cavity by a trained clinician using a specialized applicator. The procedure is performed in a clinical setting under aseptic conditions, and the device remains in place for up to three years before removal or replacement.

Serious risks include uterine perforation during insertion, pelvic inflammatory infection, device expulsion or displacement, and the rare possibility of ectopic pregnancy if contraceptive failure occurs. Prompt medical attention is required if severe abdominal pain, abnormal bleeding, or signs of infection develop.

Jaydess is contraindicated in women who are currently pregnant, have active pelvic infection, unexplained vaginal bleeding, known or suspected uterine anomalies, or a history of uterine perforation. Patients with certain cancers or severe liver disease should also avoid this device.
