Our team of attorneys are now investigating claims and prepared to file Mirena lawsuitsinvolving the intrauterine contraceptive device Mirena®. Manufactured by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Mirena is an IUD device [intrauterine device] that must be inserted by a trained health care provider and is intended to provide contraceptive protection for up to five years. Some women have experienced serious adverse side-effects and potentially life-threatening complications following the implantation of theMirena device, including perforation of or imbedment in the uterus.

New Mirena Study Warns of Fatal Risk Caused by Mirena IUD Migration, Uterine Wall Perforation

Mirena IUD migration has the potential to cause permanent pelvic perforations and uterus damage. It forces users to undergo multiple surgeries to remove the device, perforated uterus, and treat infections. The risk can be fatal or leads to serious complications when the users become pregnant and require surgical removal of the device displaced. A research report published on the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology has warned that migrated Mirena IUD can cause fatal ramifications for pregnant users whether it is removed or not.

Bayer introduced Mirena IUD in 2000 claiming that it was safe and could prevent pregnancy up to five years. However, the recent reports highlighting spontaneous migration of the intrauterine device leading to serious uterus injuries have created apprehensions about its safety and efficacy. Women across the United States have experienced uterine perforations, infections, pregnancy complications, and undergone multiple surgeries following the Mirena IUD displacement.

The most serious fallout of the Mirena contraceptive device migrating from its inserted place is its failure to prevent pregnancy. The IUD displaced without any intervention results in users getting pregnant, the very purpose the contraceptive is created to prevent. The floating of the IUD inside the abdominal cavity also poses significant risk for the fetus.

According to the latest research study, presence of Mirena intrauterine contraceptive inside the body may lead to septic abortion, miscarriage, and preterm labor. It also exposes fetus to complications caused by foreign body and hormone. Mirena removal surgery during pregnancy enhances the risk of infection, injury, and adhesion formation.

Mirena Migration Injury Lawsuit

A number of lawsuits have been filed claiming that Mirena removal surgery left plaintiffs with life-long injuries. While uterus perforation is the most common side effect injury, many victims were forced to undergo hysterectomy. A Californian woman has filed a Mirena lawsuit alleging that she faces no-viable pregnancy because of uterus removal necessitated by the IUD injury. The plaintiff suffered from pain and internal pelvic injuries prior to surgical removal of the T-shaped contraceptive.

Mirena perforation lawsuit began pouring in after research reports highlighted the risk of side effects that blunted the safe and secure claim of the manufacturer. In 2012, the number swelled with media reports highlighting incidents where women suffered from one or many of the following injuries caused by Mirena IUD.

• Perforation of uterus and uterine wall
• Pelvic infection, inflammation, and abscesses leading to various diseases
• Abdominal injuries and menstrual problems
• Hysterectomy
• Mirena IUD removal surgery
• Genitourinary complications and infections
• Ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, and ovarian cysts
• Device failure to prevent pregnancy
• Pain and suffering leading to low-quality of life

Some of the Mirena lawsuits filed have raised questions on manufacturer Bayer promoting the IUD as a safe alternative to contraceptive pills. In December 2009, the FDA asked Mirena IUD manufacturer Bayer to mend its promotional campaigns that overshadow the risk of potential side effects.

In February 2013, two Mirena lawsuits filed in New York federal courts alleged that plaintiffs got pregnant while using the IUD. The reason was attributed to spontaneous Mirena contraceptive migration. They also suffered from uterine perforations and left with permanent injuries despite spending thousands of dollars on multiple surgeries. The lawsuits claim that the design defect in the Mirena IUD may be the primary reason behind its displacement.

Medical surveys published in the Obstetrics & Gynecology journal in 2012 also highlighted widespread apprehension among doctors over the safety problems and risks associated with Mirena IUD. About 60 percent of medical professionals interviewed in the first survey and 50 percent in the second one did not favor prescribing Mirena IUD to their patients because of its side effect injuries.

If you experienced adverse Mirena side effects, required surgery or have a loved one who suffered death following the implantation of Mirena, you may have a potentialMirena lawsuit.

Women Sue Bayer for Spontaneous Mirena IUD Migration, Perforation

A New York woman filed a Mirena lawsuit against Bayer last month, claiming that she suffered from uterine perforation and other complications, which forced her to undergo IUD removal surgery within two years. Mirena IUD contraceptive has been promoted by manufacturer Bayer as a safe and durable alternative to birth control pills ever since its approval in 2000. However, the recent spate of Mirena lawsuits highlighting spontaneous migration and perforations caused by the intrauterine device created serious questions on the benefits and safety concerns associated with the contraceptive.

Two Mirena lawsuits filed in New York federal courts in February have alleged that the IUD perforated plaintiffs’ uterus and caused serious pelvic infections. The first lawsuit filed by Kristie B. Donovan in the Western District court claims that the spontaneous device migration perforated her uterus and failed to prevent her pregnancy. Donovan experienced acute pain abdomen and pelvic complications following Mirena IUD migration. She underwent multiple surgeries to remove the IUD that left her with permanent injuries.

Similarly, another Mirena lawsuit filed a fortnight later by Julie Cantor Miller at a South District court unraveled how she was forced to undergo laparoscopic surgery within two years of using Mirena IUD to remove the displaced contraceptive device. Both Mirena lawsuits are seeking compensatory and punitive damages, alleging that manufacturer Bayer sold defective contraceptives and failed to warn about the risk of migration and perforation.

More than two dozen similar Mirena side effect injury lawsuits are pending in New Jersey’s Morris County superior Court. A Californian woman has filed a Mirena lawsuit in a state court, claiming that she now faces the prospects of no-viable pregnancy following uterus perforation caused by the Mirena IUD.

Another woman from Virginia has filed a litigation seeking $2 million in compensation after she was diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy while using the contraceptive. Two women from Ohio and Oklahoma have filed product liability lawsuits against Bayer on the ground that they had to undergo hysterectomy because of uterine injuries caused by displaced Mirena IUD.

Major Side Effects Leading to Uterine Injuries

• Mirena IUD migration leading to pain and internal injuries to abdomen, uterus, and pelvic organs
• Mirena uterine injuries include uterus perforation, uterine wall puncturing, infections, and inflammation
• Hysterectomy or removal of uterus perforated because of IUD device migration

Mirena IUD: Risk of Uterine, Pelvic Damage Outweighs Benefits

Promoted as one of the safest birth control devices, Mirena IUD can cause severe and irreversible uterine and pelvic damages in users. Mirena side effect injuries have led to filing of hundreds of product liability lawsuits against manufacturer Bayer in the last two years. Many of the victims have sought compensation on the ground that the birth control IUD migrated from its place and perforated their uterine walls and pelvic organs leading to permanent injuries. The medical community is also skeptic over prescribing Mirena IUD to women fearing miscarriage, vaginal infection, and menstrual disorders caused by its side effects.

In 2012, two successive medical research surveys, one by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the other by the American Public Health Association, highlighted the inhibition among healthcare professionals in prescribing Mirena contraceptive to women. According to the first research report published in March 2012 edition of the Obstetrics & Gynecology journal, more than 60 percent doctors are doubtful of claimed Mirena benefits and concerned about its side effect injuries. About 30 percent of them felt that Mirena IUD did not offer any significant advantage when compared to other contraceptives and its side effect risks.

The second report discovered that the risk of side effects outweighed actual efficacy of Mirena contraceptives and this led majority of healthcare professionals across the United States to consider the contraceptive unsafe.

Mirena IUD Uterine, Pelvic Organ Perforation

A number of women have come forward to file Mirena lawsuits claiming that the IUD caused permanent uterine and pelvic organ damages, including the following injuries.

• Migration: Migration of Mirena birth control IUD within the abdominal cavity is biggest concern for users. There are a number of incidences where the intrauterine device was found to have migrated from its inserted place causing pelvic and abdominal injuries and failing to prevent pregnancy.
• Uterine Injuries: Migration of Mirena contraceptive can cause uterine wall perforations, internal injuries to the uterus, infections, and consistent pain. In many cases, it was found that women using Mirena lost their ability to conceive following uterus injuries.
• Hysterectomy: Dozens of Mirena lawsuits have been filed claiming that the side effect injuries caused by the IUD forced many to undergo hysterectomy or removal of uterus.
• Pelvic Perforation: Mirena migration has the potential to damage pelvic floor and the abdominal cavity that can cause abscesses and sepsis. Users experience vaginitis, unusual bleeding, dysmenorrheal, and intercourse pain because of this.

The Repercussion of Mirena Injuries

Internal injuries caused by Mirena have forced users to undergo surgeries that have the potential to limit their capacity to conceive or give birth. Many underwent surgeries to remove the displaced device or remove the damaged uterus. Menstrual disorders, miscarriages, vaginal problems, ectopic pregnancy, and painful ovarian cysts are found in every eighth Mirena user.

The IUD is also linked to hypertension, gastrointestinal problems, vomiting, hemorrhoids, skin problems, respiratory infection, angioedema, and sinusitis in users.

FDA Warning on Mirena Side Effect Injury

In October 2009, the FDA disclosed that it had received hundreds of reports through its MedWatch adverse event reporting system about Mirena side effect injuries. The reports cited uterus infection, device migration, pelvic injury, ectopic pregnancy, and streptococcal sepsis as the major Mirena side effects impacting quality of lives of those who used it. According to the regulator, at least five percent of users had to bear pain, suffering, and health problems because of the device injuries and side effects.

In 2000, the FDA had cautioned women not yet mothers against using Mirena IUD. The regulator found the risk pelvic and uterine infection and injuries caused by the contraceptive as substantial enough to cause pregnancy complications. It also admonished manufacturer Bayer in December 2009 over marketing the IUD without disclosing potential side effect risks.

If you experienced adverse Mirena side effects, required surgery or have a loved one who suffered death following the implantation of Mirena, you may have a potentialMirena lawsuit.

Mirena Lawyer Reports on Surge of Lawsuits Filed Against Bayer for Side Effect Injuries

The number of Mirena injury lawsuits filed in the United States is rising first as more and more consumers suffering from side effects are coming forward. While publication of large number of independent studies have generated awareness about Mirena contraceptive injuries, media reports highlighting complaints have resulted surge in litigations for the last one year. Law firms are also evaluating cases of hundreds of consumers who suffered from IUD side effects and more Mirena lawsuits are expected to go up.

Mirena IUD has been linked to a number of side effects, including surgical removal of uterus. It also causes serious pelvic disorders, such as uterus perforation, infection, vaginitis, painful ovarian cysts, and menstrual problems. Minor side effects of Mirena include angioedema, back pain, acne, hypertension, respiratory side effects, and nervous system problems.  However, the manufacturer has failed to inform consumers about potential hazards of using the device despite clinical trials and post-marketing studies highlighting Mirena side effects. Bayer even went on to promote the contraceptive device as safe and without any adverse effects until the FDA sent a written warning to stop the campaign. The federal regulator subsequently targeted the promotional campaign through its “Bad Ad Program.”

The IUD manufacturer is liable to be sued under product liability litigation for selling dangerous and defective products that can injure users. Any one suffering from the following complications can file Mirena side effect injury lawsuits seeking compensation for her medical, physical, and financial sufferings.

• Mirena side effect causing genitourinary complications
• Uterine problems, perforations, inflammation, and infections
• Device migration injuries
• Pelvic problems
• Menstrual disorder
• Vaginal problems
• Ovarian cysts
• Hysterectomy or other surgeries warranted by Mirena injuries
• Ectopic pregnancy or other pregnancy complications caused by the IU
• Device failure
• Device migration
• Physical pain

The healthcare professionals can be sued if their failure to implant the device properly results in device failure or pelvic injuries.

Compensation for Mirena Side Effect Injuries

Mirena lawsuits enable victims to seek a range of compensation for side effect injuries they had suffered. This includes,

• Medical expenses
• Punitive damages
• Damages for physical suffering
• Damages for emotional and physical distress
• Damages for loss of family life and income

Bayer Healthcare is facing more than two dozens of Mirena lawsuits filed in the Morris County superior court, New Jersey. The latest lawsuit was filed last month by a Californian woman, who suffered from uterus perforation caused by the device migration and required to remove the punctured uterus. The device displaced from its implanted site injured various pelvic organs causing her to suffer severe pain and no-viable pregnancy.

A Mirena injury lawsuit filed in October 2011 has sought $2 million in damages. The plaintiff, a woman from Virginia, experienced acute abdomen pain within months of Mirena contraceptive insertion. She was also diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy. Medical examination led to the discovery of the floating IUD in her abdomen.

In April 2012, a woman from Ohio, who had to undergo hysterectomy because of Mirena contraceptive migration, sued Bayer for marketing defective devices. A similar lawsuit has also been filed by a woman from Oklahoma. The plaintiff had severe pelvic and uterine infection caused the IUD.

If you experienced adverse Mirena side effects, required surgery or have a loved one who suffered death following the implantation of Mirena, you may have a potentialMirena lawsuit.

Mirena Birth Control Device: What Makes The Contraceptive Unsafe

Mirena intrauterine contraceptive device was first introduced by Bayer Pharmaceuticals in 2000. The T-shaped device contains levonorgestrel hormone that is released to the uterus and prevents unwanted pregnancy. Once considered as the most effective birth control device, the IUD has been subject to hundreds of lawsuits claiming serious Mirena side effects. The medical community looks unconvinced about its safety and efficacy while independent studies have highlighted how users face potential risk of injuries due to Mirena side effects.

Mirena has been linked to a number of uterine and pelvic problems. The device migration causing damage to the uterus and its membrane is the most highlighted complaint. Close to a dozen of lawsuits are filed in the past two months by women who had to undergo hysterectomy following uterine pain and perforations caused by Mirena migration in the body. Vaginal infection and inflammation have been common in women using the contraceptive device. Decreased libido, sexual dysfunction, vaginitis, dysmenorrheal, and pain during intercourse have been reported by the post-marketing studies.

Menstrual disorders, including short cycles, irregular bleeding, and spotting, are common cause of concern among women using Mirena contraceptive. There were also reports of no menstrual periods after a year of using the IUD. Mirena side effects also adversely impact the ovary. The FDA has received reports of ectopic pregnancy, where fertilization occurs outside the ovary. Abnormal hormone release from the IUD causes painful ovarian cysts. The expansion of these cysts leads to vaginal pain. Almost 12 percent of Mirena users experience pain because of ovarian cysts.

Concerns Among Mirena Healthcare Professionals

According to a March 2012 report in the Obstetrics & Gynecology journal, healthcare professionals are fearful of Mirena side effect injuries and advise against using the IUD. Thirty percent of 2,000 doctors interviewed expressed their concern over potential Mirena contraceptive side effects. More than 60 percent of them preferred prescribing alternative birth control solutions to those unsure of selecting the Mirena device. The survey was commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The American Public Health Association has also endorsed the findings. During its annual meet in San Francisco on October 30, 2012, a similar report was tabled. According to the study, half of the healthcare professionals interviewed questioned the stated safety and efficacy of the Mirena IUD.

Mayo Clinic Advisory

According to Mayoclinic.com, Mirena side effects could lead to breakthrough bleeding, amenorrhea, acne, mood swing, pelvic infection and ovarian cysts. It also advises against using the IUD by women never been pregnant, with high blood pressure, pelvic infection, facing menstrual pain or with prolonged menstrual periods, and of younger age.

FDA Warnings

The FDA has admitted that at least five percent of Mirena birth control users face the increased risk of side effect injuries. In October 2009, the FDA disclosed receipt of hundreds of complaints by Mirena contraceptive users on injuries caused by device migration. A large number of complaints on Mirena side effect injuries made through the Adverse Reporting System included pelvic infection, inflammation, and injury, vaginal injuries, uterine problems, and other health problems caused by the device migration. Uterine perforation and pelvic pain are the most reported injuries caused by the contraceptive device. The FDA also wrote to the manufacturer in December 2009 to stop promoting Mirena IUD as a no-side-effect contraceptive and included it in their “Bad Ad Program” to target misleading drug promotion efforts.

If you experienced adverse Mirena side effects, required surgery or have a loved one who suffered death following the implantation of Mirena, you may have a potentialMirena lawsuit.

Mirena Side Effects Undermine The Device Benefits

Potential side effects associated with Mirena birth control device outweigh its benefits. A number of product liability lawsuits have been filed against Bayer for injuries caused by the intrauterine contraceptive while independent research reports have also confirmed the risks. Mirena side effects caused many users to suffer from miscarriage, menstrual disorders, vaginal perforation, and infections. The migration of the device made the users to suffer from ectopic pregnancy, damage to the uterus, and undergo hysterectomy.  Side effects include:

• Uterine Problems: Mirena IUD side effects create a number of uterine problems. Most number of Mirena complaints were about uterus and uterine wall perforations, inflammation, and infections. Many users were forced to undergo hysterectomy following uterine injuries.
• Menstrual Disorder: Mirena users experience shorter menstrual cycles within a few weeks. Though the device is prescribed for those suffering from heavy bleeding, its side effects lead to irregular bleeding and spotting or no periods within six months of use.
• Device Migration: A major concern, the Mirena IUD migrates from its place of implant that leads to medium to severe pelvic injuries, abdominal cramps, and the device failure. It causes consistent pain, internal injuries, pelvic problems, and damage to the uterus.
• Vaginal Infection: The IUD device is also linked to vaginitis, decreased libido, pain during sex, bleeding, watery discharge, smell, and dysmenorrheal.
• Pelvic Perforation: Mirena IUD migration leads to perforation of pelvic organs, uterine walls, and even the uterus. This causes infection and inflammation leading to deposition of abscesses and risk of pelvic diseases. Faulty insertion also put patients at similar risks. Surgery is the only way out in such cases.
• Pregnancy Complications: Ectopic pregnancy is an important side effect of Mirena IUD. The egg fertilize outside the uterus despite the presence of the pregnancy prevention device. Use of the contraceptive prior to pregnancy may result in miscarriage or early delivery.
• Ovarian Cysts: Painful ovarian cysts are found to be formed in a number women using Mirena contraceptive because of the device. Disproportionate release of levonorgestrel hormone from the device leads to expanded cysts. One in every eight Mirena users faces this risk.

Clinical trials and various subsequent studies in the post 12 years have highlighted many Mirena side effects. These include

• Cardiovascular Side Effects: The IUD contraceptive leads to hypertension which may result in strokes.
• Dermatologic Side Effects: Skin disorders, such as acne and increased sweating, are common is women using Mirena contraceptive.
• Gastrointestinal Side Effects: Mirena users experience abdominal pain, cramps, bloating, vomiting, hemorrhoids, and nausea.
• Nervous System Side Effects: Headache, dizziness, and nervousness are among the most experienced Mirena side effects. In many cases, previous instances of depression and emotional liability returns.
• Respiratory Side Effects: Sinusitis, asthma, and upper respiratory infection impact women implanted with Mirena IUD.
• Others: Back pain, fatigue, device breakage, angioedema, leg pain, and edema can also occur in Mirena contraceptive users.

Hundreds of Mirena side effect lawsuits have been filed in various state and federal courts in the United States seeking manufacturer Bayer’s responsibility for product liability, drug injury, and failure to warn consumers about the contraceptive side effects.

If you experienced adverse Mirena side effects, required surgery or have a loved one who suffered death following the implantation of Mirena, you may have a potentialMirena lawsuit.

Research Studies Highlights Side Effect Injury Risks of Mirena Birth Control Device

Mirena birth control IUD poses serious health risks for women using it to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Three Mirena lawsuits filed by women from Florida, California, and Ohio in November 2012 highlight the uterus puncturing, pelvic organ perforation, and other grave health consequences caused by the migration of the birth control device. Mirena IUD is also linked to miscarriage, infection, vaginal problems, and menstrual disorders in users impacting their health and quality of lives.

2012 Medical Survey Reports

Two medical survey reports published in 2012 showed widespread skepticism among the healthcare professional fraternity regarding safety and efficacy of Mirena intrauterine contraceptive. The first survey, commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and reported by the Obstetrics & Gynecology journal of March 2012, concluded that doctors were not satisfied with claimed benefits of the birth control IUD. More than 60 percent of 2,000 doctors and nurses interviewed felt that the contraceptive is not for regular use and should be suggested to women only with a preference for it. About 30 percent of medical professionals rejected the stated benefits of the device and recommended against use by women not yet pregnant.

In October 2012, the second survey made public at the American Public Health Association conference in San Francisco highlighted widespread disbelief in the medical community over Bayer’s Mirena safety claims. More than 50 percent of doctors feel it unsafe and fear Mirena side effects may seriously impact life quality of users.

FDA Warning and Mirena Side Effects

The FDA approved Mirena birth control IUD in 2000 with the warning that it is unsafe for women yet to be pregnant to try this device. The regulator cited the risk of pelvic infection and uterine problems as the potential considerations for its warning. In December 2009, the FDA wrote to Bayer Pharmaceuticals over promoting Mirena contraceptive as safe for all and not disclosing information on its side effects. The FDA “Bad Ad Program” also censured Bayer ads related to the IUD.

In October 2009, the FDA admitted that it had received hundreds of complaints on Mirena side effects, including ectopic pregnancy, perforation of uterus, pelvic injury, inflammation, and streptococcal sepsis. At least five percent of Mirena contraceptive IUD users faced problems, such as ovarian cysts, uterine wall puncture, pelvic and pregnancy-related complications, and a host of disorders that affected their cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, dermatologic, respiratory, and nervous systems.

Post-Marketing Studies on Mirena Side Effects

Independent and manufacturer-sponsored post-marketing studies have also highlighted a number of Mirena side effects seriously questioning the manufacturer claim as an effective birth control device. Many women became subject to pelvic pain and breast tenderness within weeks of using the device. A number of them used it to prevent pregnancy following child birth experienced early labor, ectopic pregnancy, and miscarriages during the next pregnancy.

Majority of users affected by Mirena side effect injuries complained about uterine infection and puncturing, menstrual bleeding and spotting, abdominal bloating, and depression. Skin disorders, vaginitis, dysmenorrhea, hypertension, device breakage, back pain, abdominal inflammation, and angioedema in users are also linked to use of Mirena IUD.

If you experienced adverse Mirena side effects, required surgery or have a loved one who suffered death following the implantation of Mirena, you may have a potentialMirena lawsuit.

Mirena Injuries: Do I Have A Lawsuit?

Mirena intrauterine contraceptive side effects have led to filing of dozens of lawsuits against Bayer Healthcare. Though the IUD has been promoted as a safe anti-pregnancy device, its side effects can lead to ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, irregular menstrual and spotting, backache, pelvic inflammatory disease, infection, dyspareunia, ovarian cysts, vaginal perforation, pregnancy complications, and other injuries. The device migration from its original position had also resulted in unwanted pregnancy. The plaintiffs have sought accountability of the manufacturer for product liability, promoting the birth control devices without warning about side effects, and injuries caused.

Mirena Injury Lawsuits: Numbers Expected To Rise

More than two dozens of Mirena injury lawsuits have been filed in various US federal courts. At least 16 lawsuits seeking action against Bayer for Mirena side effect injuries are awaiting trial in New Jersey state courts. Bayer Healthcare, the defendant, expects hundreds of Mirena lawsuits to be filed by consumers injured by its side effects in the coming months.

In November 2012, a Californian woman filed a federal Mirena lawsuit holding Bayer responsible for uterus perforation and other injuries caused to her by Mirena contraceptive device. The 32-year-old suffered grave injuries after the IUD moved away through her fallopian tube eroding the uterus wall. A 21-year-old Ohio woman faced similar problems and had to undergo hysterectomy following severe pelvic pain. The Mirena contraceptive device she was implanted with perforated the uterus causing her to suffer from no-viable pregnancy. She is seeking millions in damages from Bayer for failing inform about the migration and injury risks associated with its product.

In July 2012, a 24-year-old woman from New Jersey filed a Mirena product liability lawsuit accusing Bayer of manufacturing and selling defective IUD devices that resulted in injury to her. The plaintiff had to undergo surgery within a year to remove the device that was dislocated from her uterus and moved away into the abdominal wall. The displacement not only caused pain and complications, but also failed to protect her from unwanted pregnancy.

Mirena injury lawsuits filed in a Morris County court by two women, one from Ohio in April and another from Oklahoma, in May 2012 also made similar claims. Both women suffered from internal injuries as the Mirena IUD detached from the uterus and moved through other body parts. The plaintiffs underwent hysterectomies because of injuries and infections caused by the device migration. They have blamed Bayer’s failure to warn about the Mirena side effects for their infertility and sufferings.

In October 2011, a medical malpractice lawsuit filed by a Virginia woman sought $2 million in damages from Blue Ridge Gynecology and Obstetrics PC for injuries caused by Mirena contraceptive. The victim had got the device implanted in September 2006. However, she began to experience abdomen pain and was found to have an ectopic pregnancy within months. The doctor could not find the Mirena IUD in her uterus as it was displaced and floating in her abdomen. She had to undergo surgery to remove the device. The lawsuit seeks damages for her suffering, pain, disfigurement, inability to work, and hospital expenses.

Research Studies, FDA Warnings About Mirena IUD Injuries Put Questions on Its Efficacy

Concerns raised by research studies and independent investigations have put serious questions on the efficacy of Mirena intrauterine contraceptive. Healthcare professionals in the United States are yet to fully recognize the safety and efficacy of the intrauterine device despite aggressive promotion by manufacturer Bayer Healthcare. A number of women using Mirena hormone-releasing contraceptive have complained of pain, intestinal and pelvic perforations, device migration, and vaginal infections. The device has also been linked to miscarriage, early delivery, and pregnancy-related complications causing multiple risks to lives of users.

Mirena IUD Side Effect Research Studies

According to a new survey report made public in the last week of October 2012, more than half of doctors in the United States do not agree with the claims by Bayer on safety and efficacy of its Mirena IUD. They were far from being convinced, as there were reports of serious complications in users caused by migration of the device and perforation of the uterus. The report was presented at the San Francisco conference of the American Public Health Association.

Despite many studies recommending Mirena IUD as safe for use by all women, healthcare professionals are hesitant to recommend it as a hassle-free birth control device. They are particularly concerned about side effects of the device causing serious injuries and complications in women who had an abortion. Medical practitioners are also worried over risks Mirena contraceptive poses for women given birth a few weeks ago. Early child birth and miscarriages are also reported in women who used the device to prevent pregnancy.

In March 2012, the Obstetrics & Gynecology journal published results of a study that highlighted fears over Mirena IUD side effect injuries. The survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed apprehensions among healthcare professionals regarding benefits of the contraceptive. Researchers found 30 percent of about 2,000 healthcare professionals interviewed felt Mirena IUD was not safe and should not be prescribed to women without children. A massive 60 percent of doctors suggested that the intrauterine contraceptive should be recommended occasionally and only to those with a preference for it.

Post-marketing studies indicted the birth control device for breast tenderness, sepsis, ovarian cysts, back pain, menstrual bleeding and spotting, uterus perforations, device migration, ectopic pregnancies, and many other serious complications.

FDA Warning on Mirena Injuries

When Mirena IUD was approved by the FDA in 2000, the device was not considered safe for women without children because of its potential to create infections in uterus and other pelvic organs. According to a report by the FDA a few years ago, at least 5 percent of women using Mirena contraceptive devices during clinical trials complained of reduced libido.

The FDA “Bad Ad Program” had censured Bayer in the past for its ads promoting Mirena contraceptive. The program targeted deceptive promotional campaigns by manufacturer misleading consumers on safety and benefits of its product. Bayer, according to the FDA letter issued in December 2009, overstated the efficacy of Mirena IUD keeping back information on its side effects.

A press release by the FDA dated October 1, 2009, acknowledged that it had received a number of complaints associating Mirena contraceptive with serious injuries, including uterine wall perforation, streptococcal sepsis, pelvic inflammation, cervical pain, vaginitis, ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cysts, and other pregnancy-related problems.

If you experienced adverse Mirena side effects, required surgery or have a loved one who suffered death following the implantation of Mirena, you may have a potentialMirena lawsuit.
