Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are an effective form of reversible birth control. They are effective for three to 10 years, depending on which one you choose to get, and are more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. Before getting an IUD, it is important to be informed on the types, risks, and potential side effects.

Now with Mira, you can make an appointment with a virtual care provider to discuss getting an IUD. Mira offers $25 virtual care appointments in addition to low-cost lab testing and discounted prescription medication.
