The data described below reflect exposure of 1,697 healthy 18 to 41-year-old women (mean age 27.8 +- 5.2 years) to Kyleena. These data come from two multi-center contraceptive trials: phase study with 3-year duration was conducted in Europe enrolling generally healthy, 21 to 41-year old women; 217 subjects were exposed to Kyleena for one year and 174 completed three years. The data in this trial cover approximately 8,000 cycles of exposure. phase study with 3-year duration and an optional extension of Kyleena use up to years was conducted in the United States (US), Canada, Europe, and Latin America. The population was generally healthy, 18 to 35-year old women. total of 1,208 subjects were exposed to Kyleena for at least one year; 707 women entered the optional extension phase after years and 550 completed five years. The data in this trial cover approximately 60,000 cycles. In total for both studies, 1,425 subjects were exposed for at least year, and 550 subjects completed years of use. Of the total of 1,697 subjects exposed to Kyleena, 563 were from the US and 1,134 were from Europe, Canada and Latin America; 623 (37%) were nulliparous (mean age 24.6 +- 4.5 years) and 1,074 (63%) were parous (mean age 29.7 +- 4.7 years). Most women who received Kyleena were Caucasian (83%) or Black/African American (4.4%); 9.4% of women were of Hispanic ethnicity. The clinical trials had no upper or lower weight or body mass index (BMI) limit. Mean BMI of Kyleena subjects was 25.2 kg/m2 (range 15.2 57.6 kg/m2); 16% had BMI >= 30 kg/m2, and 2.0% had BMI >= 40 kg/m2. The frequencies of reported adverse drug reactions represent crude incidences.The most common adverse reactions (occurring in >= 5% users) were vulvovaginitis (24%), ovarian cyst (22%), abdominal pain/pelvic pain (21%), headache/migraine (15%), acne/seborrhea (15%), dysmenorrhea/uterine spasm (10%), breast pain/breast discomfort (10%), and increased bleeding (8%).In the combined studies, 22% discontinued prematurely due to an adverse reaction. The most common adverse reactions (>1%) leading to discontinuation were increased bleeding (4.5%), abdominal pain/pelvic pain (4.2%), device expulsion (3.1%), acne/seborrhea (2.3%), and dysmenorrhea/uterine spasm (1.3%).Common adverse reactions (occurring in >=1% users) are summarized in Table (presented as crude incidences).Table 4: Adverse reactions that occurred in at least 1% of Kyleena users in clinical trials by System Organ Class (SOC)System Organ ClassAdverse ReactionIncidence (%)(N=1,697)Reproductive System and Breast DisordersVulvovaginitis24.3Ovarian cysta 22.2Dysmenorrhea/uterine spasm8.0/2.4Increased bleedingb 7.9Breast pain/discomfort7.1/3.5Genital discharge4.5Device expulsion (complete and partial)3.5Upper genital tract infection1.5Gastrointestinal DisordersAbdominal pain/pelvic pain13.3/8.2Nausea4.7Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue DisordersAcne/Seborrhea14.1/1.8Alopecia1.0Nervous System DisordersHeadache/Migraine12.9/3.3Psychiatric DisordersDepression/ Depressed mood4.4/0.2a Ovarian cysts were reported as adverse events if they were abnormal, non-functional cysts and/or had diameter >3 cm on ultrasound examinationb Not all bleeding alterations were captured as adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)].In the clinical trials, serious adverse reactions occurring in more than single subject included: ectopic pregnancy/ruptured ectopic pregnancy (10 subjects); pelvic inflammatory disease (6 subjects); missed abortion/incomplete spontaneous abortion/spontaneous abortion (4 subjects); ovarian cyst (3 subjects); abdominal pain (4 subjects); depression/affective disorder (4 subjects); and uterine perforation/embedded device (myometrial perforation) (3 subjects).. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience Adverse Reactions from Postmarketing Spontaneous Reports The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of LNG-releasing IUSs. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to drug exposure. oArterial thrombotic and venous thromboembolic events, including cases of pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis and stroke oDevice breakageoHypersensitivity (including rash, urticaria, and angioedema)oIncreased blood pressure. oArterial thrombotic and venous thromboembolic events, including cases of pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis and stroke oDevice breakage. oHypersensitivity (including rash, urticaria, and angioedema). oIncreased blood pressure. Reported Adverse Reactions from Postmarketing Studies Assessment of Perforation and Expulsion of Intrauterine Devices (APEX IUD) Study APEX IUD was large US retrospective cohort study to assess the impact of breastfeeding and timing of postpartum IUD insertion on uterine perforation and IUD expulsion. The analyses included total of 326,658 insertions, 30% (97,824 insertions) of which were performed in women with delivery in the previous 12 months. For insertions performed in women who had delivered <= 52 weeks before IUD insertion, the majority of postpartum insertions, 57.3% (56,047 insertions) occurred between and 14 weeks postpartum. Breastfeeding data were available in 94,817 insertions performed in women 52 weeks or less after delivery. The study results indicated that the risk of uterine perforation was highest in women with IUD insertion <= weeks postpartum. Immediate postpartum insertion (0-3 days) findings are limited due to the relatively small number of insertions occurring within this time interval. Women who were breastfeeding at the time of insertion were at 33% higher risk of perforation (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]=1.33, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07-1.64) compared to women who were not breastfeeding at the time of insertion. Progressively lower risk of uterine perforation was observed in postpartum time windows beyond weeks, in both breastfeeding and not breastfeeding women. Table presents the uterine perforation rates for LNG IUS stratified by breastfeeding status and postpartum interval.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action The local mechanism by which continuously released LNG contributes to the contraceptive effectiveness of Kyleena has not been conclusively demonstrated. Studies of Kyleena and similar LNG IUS prototypes have suggested several mechanisms that prevent pregnancy: thickening of cervical mucus preventing passage of sperm into the uterus, inhibition of sperm capacitation or survival, and alteration of the endometrium. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Kyleena has mainly local progestogenic effects in the uterine cavity. The local concentrations of LNG lead to morphological changes including stromal pseudodecidualization, glandular atrophy, leukocytic infiltration and decrease in glandular and stromal mitoses. In clinical trials with Kyleena, ovulation was assessed based on serum progesterone values >2.5 ng/mL in one study and serum progesterone values >2.5 ng/mL together with serum estradiol levels <27.24 pg/mL in another study. Evidence of ovulation by these criteria was seen in 23 out of 26 women in the first year, in 19 out of 20 women in the second year, and in all 16 women in the third year. In the fourth year, evidence of ovulation was observed in the one woman remaining in the subset and in the fifth year, no women remained in this subset.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Absorption Low doses of LNG are administered into the uterine cavity with the Kyleena intrauterine delivery system. The in vivo release rate is approximately 17.5 mcg/day after 24 days and is reduced to approximately 15.3 mcg/day after 60 days and to 9.8 mcg/day after year. It then declines progressively to approximately 7.9 mcg/day after years and 7.4 mcg/day after years. The average LNG in vivo release rate is approximately 12.6 mcg/day over the first year and 9.0 mcg/day over the period of years. In subset of subjects, the maximum observed serum LNG concentration (mean +-SD) was 302 +- 170 pg/mL, reached after 7.5 days (median) of Kyleena insertion. Thereafter, the LNG serum concentrations (mean +-SD) at Year 1, 2, 3, and were 199 +- 171 pg/mL (N=6), 120 +- 57 pg/mL (N=6), 122 +- 65 pg/mL (N=6), 79 +- 12 pg/mL (N=3) and 65 +- 15 pg/mL (N=3), respectively. population pharmacokinetic evaluation based on broader database (>1000 patients) showed similar declining concentration profile, with 175 +- 74 pg/mL at days after placement, 125 +- 50 pg/mL at year, 99 +- 41 pg/mL after years, and 90 +- 35 pg/mL after years.. Distribution The apparent volume of distribution of LNG is reported to be approximately 1.8 L/kg. LNG is bound non-specifically to serum albumin and specifically to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). Accordingly, changes in the concentration of SHBG in serum result in an increase (at higher SHBG concentration) or decrease (at lower SHBG concentration) of the total LNG concentration in serum. In subset of subjects, the concentration of SHBG declined on average by about 30% during the first months after insertion of Kyleena and remained relatively stable over the year period of use. Less than 2% of the circulating LNG is present as free steroid. Elimination Following intravenous administration of 0.09 mg LNG to healthy volunteers, the total clearance of LNG is approximately mL/min/kg and the elimination half-life is approximately 20 hours. Metabolic clearance rates may differ among individuals by several-fold, and this may account in part for wide individual variations in LNG concentrations seen in individuals using LNG-containing contraceptive products.. Metabolism Following absorption, LNG is extensively metabolized. The most important metabolic pathways are the reduction of the 4-3-oxo group and hydroxylations at positions 2, and 16, followed by conjugation. Significant amounts of conjugated and unconjugated 3, 5- are also present in serum, along with much smaller amounts of 3, 5-tetrahydrolevonorgestrel and 16-hydroxylevonorgestrel. CYP3A4 is the main enzyme involved in the oxidative metabolism of LNG. Following absorption, LNG is extensively metabolized. The most important metabolic pathways are the reduction of the 4-3-oxo group and hydroxylations at positions 2, and 16, followed by conjugation.

CYP3A4 is the main enzyme involved in the oxidative metabolism of LNG. Excretion LNG and its phase metabolites are excreted primarily as glucuronide conjugates. About 45% of LNG and its metabolites are excreted in the urine and about 32% are excreted in feces, mostly as glucuronide conjugates.. Specific Populations Pediatric: Safety and efficacy of Kyleena have been established in women of reproductive age.

Step 2-Load Kyleena into the insertion tube oPush the slider forward as far as possible in the direction of the arrow, thereby moving the insertion tube over the Kyleena T-body to load Kyleena into the insertion tube (Figure 2). The tips of the arms will meet to form rounded end that extends slightly beyond the insertion tube.Figure 2. Move slider all the way to the forward position to load KyleenaoMaintain forward pressure with your thumb or forefinger on the slider. DO NOT move the slider downward at this time as this may prematurely release the threads of Kyleena. Once the slider is moved below the mark, Kyleena cannot be re-loaded.. oPush the slider forward as far as possible in the direction of the arrow, thereby moving the insertion tube over the Kyleena T-body to load Kyleena into the insertion tube (Figure 2). The tips of the arms will meet to form rounded end that extends slightly beyond the insertion tube.. oMaintain forward pressure with your thumb or forefinger on the slider. DO NOT move the slider downward at this time as this may prematurely release the threads of Kyleena. Once the slider is moved below the mark, Kyleena cannot be re-loaded.. Load Kyleena. Step 3-Setting the Flange oHolding the slider in this forward position, set the upper edge of the flange to correspond to the uterine depth (in centimeters) measured during sounding (Figure 3). Figure 3. Setting the flange. oHolding the slider in this forward position, set the upper edge of the flange to correspond to the uterine depth (in centimeters) measured during sounding (Figure 3). Setting Flange. Step 4-Kyleena is now ready to be inserted oContinue holding the slider in this forward position. Advance the inserter through the cervix until the flange is approximately 1.5-2 cm from the cervix and then pause (Figure 4). Figure 4. Advancing insertion tube until flange is 1.5 to cm from the cervixDo not force the inserter. If necessary, dilate the cervical canal.. oContinue holding the slider in this forward position. Advance the inserter through the cervix until the flange is approximately 1.5-2 cm from the cervix and then pause (Figure 4). Advancing Flange. Step 5-Open the arms oWhile holding the inserter steady, move the slider down to the mark to release the arms of Kyleena (Figure 5). Wait 10 seconds for the horizontal arms to open completely.Figure 5. Move the slider back to the mark to release and open the arms. oWhile holding the inserter steady, move the slider down to the mark to release the arms of Kyleena (Figure 5). Wait 10 seconds for the horizontal arms to open completely.. Back to Mark. Step 6-Advance to fundal position Advance the inserter gently towards the fundus of the uterus until the flange touches the cervix. If you encounter fundal resistance do not continue to advance. Kyleena is now in the fundal position (Figure 6). Fundal positioning of Kyleena is important to prevent expulsion.Figure 6. Move Kyleena into the fundal position. Funda Position. Step 7-Release Kyleena and withdraw the inserter oHolding the entire inserter firmly in place, release Kyleena by moving the slider all the way down (Figure 7).Figure 7. Move the slider all the way down to release Kyleena from the insertion tubeoContinue to hold the slider all the way down while you slowly and gently withdraw the inserter from the uterus. oUsing sharp, curved scissor, cut the threads perpendicular, leaving about cm visible outside of the cervix [cutting threads at an angle may leave sharp ends (Figure 8)].

SPL PATIENT PACKAGE INSERT SECTION.

Patient Package Insert. Patient InformationKyleena (Ki-lee-nah)(levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system)Read this Patient Information carefully before you decide if Kyleena is right for you. This information does not take the place of talking with your gynecologist or other healthcare provider who specializes in womens health. If you have any questions about Kyleena, ask your healthcare provider. You should also learn about other birth control methods to choose the one that is best for you.Kyleena does not protect against HIV infection (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).What is KyleenaoKyleena is hormone-releasing system placed in your uterus by your healthcare provider to prevent pregnancy for up to years.oKyleena can be removed by your healthcare provider at any time.oKyleena can be used whether or not you have given birth to child.Kyleena is small, flexible plastic T-shaped system that slowly releases progestin hormone called levonorgestrel (LNG) that is often used in birth control pills. Because Kyleena releases LNG into your uterus, only small amounts of the hormone enter your blood. Kyleena does not contain estrogen.Two thin threads are attached to the stem (lower end) of Kyleena. The threads are the only part of Kyleena you can feel when Kyleena is in your uterus; however, unlike tampon string, the threads do not extend outside your body. Kyleena is smalland FlexibleWhat if need birth control for more than yearsKyleena must be removed after years. Your healthcare provider can place new Kyleena during the same office visit if you choose to continue using Kyleena.What if want to stop using KyleenaKyleena is intended for use up to years, but you can stop using Kyleena at any time by asking your healthcare provider to remove it. You could become pregnant as soon as Kyleena is removed, so you should use another method of birth control if you do not want to become pregnant. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best birth control methods for you, because your new method may need to be started days before Kyleena is removed to prevent pregnancy.What if change my mind about birth control and want to become pregnant in less than yearsYour healthcare provider can remove Kyleena at any time. You may become pregnant as soon as Kyleena is removed. About out of 10 women who want to become pregnant will become pregnant sometime in the first year after Kyleena is removed.How does Kyleena workKyleena may work in several ways including thickening cervical mucus, inhibiting sperm movement, reducing sperm survival, and thinning the lining of your uterus. It is not known exactly how these actions work together to prevent pregnancy.How well does Kyleena work for contraceptionThe following chart shows the chance of getting pregnant for women who use different methods of birth control. Each box on the chart contains list of birth control methods that are similar in effectiveness. The most effective methods are at the top of the chart. The box on the bottom of the chart shows the chance of getting pregnant for women who do not use birth control and are trying to get pregnant.Kyleena, an intrauterine device (IUD), also known as an intrauterine system (IUS), is in the box at the top of the chart.Who might use Kyleena You might choose Kyleena if you:owant long-term birth control that provides low chance of getting pregnant (less than in 100)owant birth control that works continuously for up to years owant birth control that is reversibleowant birth control method that you do not need to take dailyoare willing to use birth control method that is placed in the uterus owant birth control that does not contain estrogenDo not use Kyleena if you:oare or might be pregnant; Kyleena cannot be used as an emergency contraceptiveohave serious pelvic infection called pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or have had PID in the past unless you have had normal pregnancy after the infection went awayohave an untreated genital infection nowohave had serious pelvic infection in the past months after pregnancyocan get infections easily. For example, if you:ohave multiple sexual partners or your partner has multiple sexual partnersohave problems with your immune systemouse or abuse intravenous drugsohave or suspect you might have cancer of the uterus or cervixohave bleeding from the vagina that has not been explainedohave liver disease or liver tumorohave breast cancer or any other cancer that is sensitive to progestin (a female hormone), now or in the pastohave an intrauterine device in your uterus alreadyohave condition of the uterus that changes the shape of the uterine cavity, such as large fibroid tumorsoare allergic to levonorgestrel, silicone, polyethylene, silver, silica, barium sulfate, polypropylene, or copper phthalocyanineBefore having Kyleena placed, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions including if you:ohave any of the conditions listed aboveohave had heart attackohave had strokeowere born with heart disease or have problems with your heart valvesohave problems with blood clotting or take medicine to reduce clottingohave high blood pressureorecently had baby or are breastfeedingohave severe headaches or migraine headachesohave AIDS, HIV, or any other sexually transmitted infectionTell your healthcare provider about all of the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.How is Kyleena placedKyleena is placed by your healthcare provider during an in-office visit or immediately after giving birth.First, your healthcare provider will examine your pelvis to find the exact position of your uterus. Your healthcare provider will then clean your vagina and cervix with an antiseptic solution and slide slim plastic tube containing Kyleena through the cervix into your uterus. Your healthcare provider will then remove the plastic tube, and leave Kyleena in your uterus. Your healthcare provider will cut the threads to the right length.You may experience pain, bleeding or dizziness during and after placement. If your symptoms do not pass within 30 minutes after placement, Kyleena may not have been placed correctly. Your healthcare provider will examine you to see if Kyleena needs to be removed or replaced.Should check that Kyleena is in placeYes, you should check that Kyleena is in proper position by feeling the removal threads. It is good habit to do this time month. Your healthcare provider should teach you how to check that Kyleena is in place. First, wash your hands with soap and water. You can check by reaching up to the top of your vagina with clean fingers to feel the removal threads. Do not pull on the threads. If you feel more than just the threads or if you cannot feel the threads, Kyleena may not be in the right position and may not prevent pregnancy. Avoid intercourse or use non-hormonal back-up birth control (such as condoms or spermicide) and ask your healthcare provider to check that Kyleena is still in the right place.How soon after placement of Kyleena should return to my healthcare providerCall your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns (see When should call my healthcare provider). Otherwise, you should return to your healthcare provider for follow-up visit to weeks after Kyleena is placed to make sure that Kyleena is in the right position.Can use tampons or menstrual cups with KyleenaYes, tampons or menstrual cups may be used with Kyleena. Change tampons or menstrual cups with care to avoid pulling the threads of Kyleena. If you think you may have pulled Kyleena out of place, avoid intercourse or use non-hormonal back-up birth control (such as condoms or spermicide), and contact your healthcare provider.What if become pregnant while using KyleenaCall your healthcare provider right away if you think you may be pregnant. If possible, also do urine pregnancy test. If you get pregnant while using Kyleena, you may have an ectopic pregnancy. This means that the pregnancy is not in the uterus. Unusual vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain may be sign of ectopic pregnancy.Ectopic pregnancy is medical emergency that often requires surgery. Ectopic pregnancy can cause internal bleeding, infertility, and even death.There are also risks if you get pregnant while using Kyleena and the pregnancy is in the uterus. Severe infection, miscarriage, premature delivery, and even death can occur with pregnancies that continue with an intrauterine device (IUD). Because of this, your healthcare provider may try to remove Kyleena, even though removing it may cause miscarriage. If Kyleena cannot be removed, talk with your healthcare provider about the benefits and risks of continuing the pregnancy and possible effects of the hormone on your unborn baby.If you continue your pregnancy, see your healthcare provider regularly. Call your healthcare provider right away if you get flu-like symptoms, fever, chills, cramping, pain, bleeding, vaginal discharge, or fluid leaking from your vagina. These may be signs of infection.How will Kyleena change my periods For the first to months, your period may become irregular and the number of bleeding days may increase. You may also have frequent spotting or light bleeding. Some women have heavy bleeding during this time. You may also have cramping during the first few weeks. After you have used Kyleena for while, the number of bleeding and spotting days is likely to lessen. For some women, periods will stop altogether. When Kyleena is removed, your menstrual periods should return.Is it safe to breastfeed while using KyleenaYou may use Kyleena when you are breastfeeding. Kyleena is not likely to affect the quality or amount of your breast milk or the health of your nursing baby. However, isolated cases of decreased milk production have been reported. The risk of Kyleena going into the wall of the uterus (becoming embedded) or going through the wall of the uterus is increased if Kyleena is inserted while you are breastfeeding.Will Kyleena interfere with sexual intercourseYou and your partner should not feel Kyleena during intercourse. Kyleena is placed in the uterus, not in the vagina. Sometimes your partner may feel the threads. If this occurs, or if you or your partner experience pain during sex, talk with your healthcare provider.Can have an MRI with Kyleena in placeKyleena can be safely scanned with MRI only under specific conditions. Before you have an MRI, tell your healthcare provider that you have Kyleena, an intrauterine device (IUD), in place.What are the possible side effects of KyleenaKyleena can cause serious side effects including:oEctopic pregnancy and intrauterine pregnancy risks. There are risks if you become pregnant while using Kyleena (see What if become pregnant while using Kyleena). oLife-threatening infection. Life-threatening infection can occur within the first few days after Kyleena is placed. Call your healthcare provider immediately if you develop severe pain or fever shortly after Kyleena is placed.oPelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Some IUD users get serious pelvic infection called pelvic inflammatory disease. PID is usually sexually transmitted. You have higher chance of getting PID if you or your partner has sex with other partners. PID can cause serious problems such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy or pelvic pain that does not go away. PID is usually treated with antibiotics. More serious cases of PID may require surgery including removal of the uterus (hysterectomy). In rare cases, infections that start as PID can even cause death. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these signs of PID: long-lasting or heavy bleeding, unusual vaginal discharge, low abdominal (stomach area) pain, painful sex, chills, fever, genital lesions or sores.oPerforation. Kyleena may go into the wall of the uterus (become embedded) or go through the wall of the uterus. This is called perforation. If this occurs, Kyleena may no longer prevent pregnancy. If perforation occurs, Kyleena may move outside the uterus and can cause internal scarring, infection, or damage to other organs, and you may need surgery to have Kyleena removed. Excessive pain or vaginal bleeding during placement of Kyleena, pain or bleeding that gets worse after placement, or not being able to feel the threads may happen with perforation. The risk of perforation is increased if Kyleena is inserted while you are breastfeeding, or if you have recently given birth.oExpulsion. Kyleena may come out by itself. This is called expulsion. Expulsion occurs in about out of 100 women. Excessive pain or vaginal bleeding during placement of Kyleena, pain or bleeding that gets worse after placement, or not being able to feel the threads may happen with expulsion. You may become pregnant if Kyleena comes out. If you think that Kyleena has come out, avoid intercourse or use non-hormonal back-up birth control (such as condoms or spermicide) and call your healthcare provider. The risk of expulsion is increased with insertion right after delivery or second-trimester abortion.Common side effects of Kyleena include: oPain, bleeding or dizziness during and after placement. If these symptoms do not stop 30 minutes after placement, Kyleena may not have been placed correctly. Your healthcare provider will examine you to see if Kyleena needs to be removed or replaced.oChanges in bleeding. You may have bleeding and spotting between menstrual periods, especially during the first 3-6 months. Sometimes the bleeding is heavier than usual at first. However, the bleeding usually becomes lighter than usual and may be irregular. Call your healthcare provider if the bleeding remains heavier than usual or increases after it has been light for while.oMissed menstrual periods. About 12 out of 100 women stop having periods after year of Kyleena use. If you have any concerns that you may be pregnant while using Kyleena, do urine pregnancy test and call your healthcare provider. If you do not have period for weeks during Kyleena use, call your healthcare provider. When Kyleena is removed, your menstrual periods should return.oCysts on the ovary. About 22 out of 100 women using Kyleena develop cyst on the ovary. These cysts usually disappear on their own in to months. However, cysts can cause pain and sometimes cysts will need surgery.Other common side effects include:oinflammation or infection of the outer part of your vagina (vulvovaginitis)oabdominal or pelvic painoheadache or migraineoacne or greasy skinopainful periodsosore or painful breastsThese are not all of the possible side effects with Kyleena. For more information, ask your healthcare provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. You may also report side effects to Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals at 1-888-842-2937.After Kyleena has been placed, when should call my healthcare providerIf Kyleena is accidentally removed and you had vaginal intercourse within the preceding week, you may be at risk of pregnancy, and you should talk to healthcare provider.Call your healthcare provider if you have any concerns about Kyleena. Be sure to call if you:othink you are pregnantohave pelvic pain, abdominal pain, or pain during sexohave unusual vaginal discharge or genital soresohave unexplained fever, flu-like symptoms or chillsomight be exposed to sexually transmitted infections (STIs)oare concerned that Kyleena may have been expelled (came out)ocannot feel Kyleenas threadsodevelop very severe or migraine headachesohave yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS oRemove Kyleena if pregnancy occurs with Kyleena in place. If pregnancy occurs, there is increased risk of ectopic pregnancy including loss of fertility, pregnancy loss, septic abortion (including septicemia, shock and death), and premature labor and delivery. (5.1, 5.2)oGroup streptococcal infection has been reported following insertion of LNG IUS; strict aseptic technique is essential during insertion. (5.3)oBefore using Kyleena, consider the risks of PID. (5.4)oUterine perforation may occur and may reduce contraceptive effectiveness or require surgery. Risk is increased if inserted in lactating women and may be increased if inserted in women with fixed retroverted uteri and postpartum. (5.5)oPartial or complete expulsion may occur, which can be unnoticed, leading to loss of contraceptive efficacy. (5.6)oEvaluate persistent enlarged ovarian follicles or ovarian cysts. (5.7)oBleeding patterns become altered, may remain irregular and amenorrhea may ensue. (5.8)oKyleena can be safely scanned with MRI only under certain conditions. (5.11). oRemove Kyleena if pregnancy occurs with Kyleena in place. If pregnancy occurs, there is increased risk of ectopic pregnancy including loss of fertility, pregnancy loss, septic abortion (including septicemia, shock and death), and premature labor and delivery. (5.1, 5.2). oGroup streptococcal infection has been reported following insertion of LNG IUS; strict aseptic technique is essential during insertion. (5.3). oBefore using Kyleena, consider the risks of PID. (5.4). oUterine perforation may occur and may reduce contraceptive effectiveness or require surgery. Risk is increased if inserted in lactating women and may be increased if inserted in women with fixed retroverted uteri and postpartum. (5.5). oPartial or complete expulsion may occur, which can be unnoticed, leading to loss of contraceptive efficacy. (5.6). oEvaluate persistent enlarged ovarian follicles or ovarian cysts. (5.7). oBleeding patterns become altered, may remain irregular and amenorrhea may ensue. (5.8). oKyleena can be safely scanned with MRI only under certain conditions. (5.11). 5.1 Risk of Ectopic Pregnancy Evaluate women for ectopic pregnancy if they become pregnant with Kyleena in place because the likelihood of pregnancy being ectopic is increased with Kyleena. Approximately one-half of pregnancies that occur with Kyleena in place are likely to be ectopic. Also consider the possibility of ectopic pregnancy in the case of lower abdominal pain, especially in association with missed menses or if an amenorrheic woman starts bleeding. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy in clinical trials with Kyleena, which excluded women with history of ectopic pregnancy, was approximately 0.2% per year. The risk of ectopic pregnancy in women who have history of ectopic pregnancy and use Kyleena is unknown. Women with previous history of ectopic pregnancy, tubal surgery or pelvic infection carry higher risk of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy may result in loss of fertility. 5.2 Risks with Intrauterine Pregnancy If pregnancy occurs while using Kyleena, remove Kyleena because leaving it in place may increase the risk of spontaneous abortion and preterm labor. Removal of Kyleena or probing of the uterus may also result in spontaneous abortion. In the event of an intrauterine pregnancy with Kyleena, consider the following: Septic abortion In patients becoming pregnant with an IUS in place, septic abortion--with septicemia, septic shock, and death--may occur. Continuation of pregnancy If woman becomes pregnant with Kyleena in place and if Kyleena cannot be removed or the woman chooses not to have it removed, warn her that failure to remove Kyleena increases the risk of miscarriage, sepsis, premature labor and premature delivery. Advise her of isolated reports of virilization of the female fetus following local exposure to LNG during pregnancy with an LNG IUS in place [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Follow her pregnancy closely and advise her to report immediately any symptom that suggests complications of the pregnancy. 5.3 Sepsis Severe infection or sepsis, including Group streptococcal sepsis (GAS), have been reported following insertion of LNG-releasing IUS. In some cases, severe pain occurred within hours of insertion followed by sepsis within days. Because death from GAS is more likely if treatment is delayed, it is important to be aware of these rare but serious infections. Aseptic technique during insertion of Kyleena is essential in order to minimize serious infections such as GAS. 5.4 Pelvic Infection Promptly examine users with complaints of lower abdominal or pelvic pain, odorous discharge, unexplained bleeding, fever, genital lesions or sores. Remove Kyleena in cases of recurrent endometritis or pelvic inflammatory disease, or if an acute pelvic infection is severe or does not respond to treatment. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) Kyleena is contraindicated in the presence of known or suspected PID or in women with history of PID unless there has been subsequent intrauterine pregnancy [see Contraindications (4)]. IUDs have been associated with an increased risk of PID, most likely due to organisms being introduced into the uterus during insertion. In clinical trials, PID was observed in 0.5% of women overall and occurred more frequently within the first year and most often within the first month after insertion of Kyleena. Women at increased risk for PID PID is often associated with sexually transmitted infection (STI), and Kyleena does not protect against STI. The risk of PID is greater for women who have multiple sexual partners, and also for women whose sexual partner(s) have multiple sexual partners. Women who have had PID are at increased risk for recurrence or re-infection. In particular, ascertain whether the woman is at increased risk of infection (for example, leukemia, acquired immune deficiency syndrome [AIDS], intravenous drug abuse).. Subclinical PID PID may be asymptomatic but still result in tubal damage and its sequelae.. Treatment of PID Following diagnosis of PID, or suspected PID, bacteriologic specimens should be obtained, and antibiotic therapy should be initiated promptly. Removal of Kyleena after initiation of antibiotic therapy is usually appropriate.1 Actinomycosis Actinomycosis has been associated with IUDs. Remove Kyleena from symptomatic women and treat with antibiotics. The significance of actinomyces-like organisms on Pap smear in an asymptomatic IUD user is unknown, and so this finding alone does not always require Kyleena removal and treatment. When possible, confirm Pap smear diagnosis with cultures.. 5.5 Perforation Perforation (total or partial, including penetration/embedment of Kyleena in the uterine wall or cervix) may occur most often during insertion, although the perforation may not be detected until sometime later. The incidence of perforation during clinical trials was 0.1%.The risk of uterine perforation is increased in women who have recently given birth, and in women who are breastfeeding at the time of insertion. In large postmarketing safety study conducted in the US, the risk of uterine perforation was highest when insertion occurred within <= weeks postpartum, and also higher with breastfeeding at the time of insertion [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)]. The risk of perforation may be increased if Kyleena is inserted when the uterus is fixed, retroverted or not completely involuted.If perforation occurs, locate and remove Kyleena. Surgery may be required. Delayed detection or removal of Kyleena in case of perforation may result in migration outside the uterine cavity, adhesions, peritonitis, intestinal perforations, intestinal obstruction, abscesses and erosion of adjacent viscera. In addition, perforation may reduce contraceptive efficacy and result in pregnancy. 5.6 Expulsion Partial or complete expulsion of Kyleena may occur resulting in the loss of efficacy. Expulsion may be associated with symptoms of bleeding or pain, or it may be asymptomatic and go unnoticed. Kyleena typically decreases menstrual bleeding over time; therefore, an increase of menstrual bleeding may be indicative of an expulsion. Consider further diagnostic imaging, such as x-ray, if expulsion is suspected based on ultrasound [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10)]. In clinical trials, 5-year expulsion rate of 3.5% (59 out of 1,690 subjects) was reported. The risk of expulsion is increased with insertions immediately after delivery and appears to be increased with insertion after second-trimester abortion based on limited data. In large postmarketing safety study conducted in the US, the risk of expulsion was lower with breastfeeding status [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)].Remove partially expelled Kyleena. If expulsion has occurred, new Kyleena can be inserted any time the provider can be reasonably certain the woman is not pregnant. 5.7 Ovarian Cysts Because the contraceptive effect of Kyleena is mainly due to its local effects within the uterus, ovulatory cycles with follicular rupture usually occur in women of fertile age using Kyleena. Ovarian cysts (reported as adverse reactions if they were abnormal, non-functional cysts and/or had diameter >3 cm on ultrasound examination) were reported at least once over the course of clinical trials in 22% of women using Kyleena, and 0.6% of subjects discontinued because of an ovarian cyst. Most ovarian cysts are asymptomatic, although some may be accompanied by pelvic pain or dyspareunia. In most cases the ovarian cysts disappear spontaneously during two to three months observation. Evaluate persistent ovarian cysts. Surgical intervention is not usually required. 5.8 Bleeding Pattern Alterations Kyleena can alter the bleeding pattern and result in spotting, irregular bleeding, heavy bleeding, oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea. During the first 3-6 months of Kyleena use, the number of bleeding and spotting days may be higher and bleeding patterns may be irregular. Thereafter, the number of bleeding and spotting days usually decreases but bleeding may remain irregular. In Kyleena clinical trials, amenorrhea developed by the end of the first year of use in approximately 12% of Kyleena users. total of 81 subjects out of 1,697 (4.8%) discontinued due to uterine bleeding complaints. Table shows the bleeding patterns as documented in the Kyleena clinical trials based on 90-day reference periods. Table shows the number of bleeding and spotting days based on 28-day cycle equivalents.

Consider the possibility of pregnancy if menstruation does not occur within six weeks of the onset of previous menstruation. Once pregnancy has been excluded, repeated pregnancy tests are generally not necessary in amenorrheic women unless indicated, for example, by other signs of pregnancy or by pelvic pain. 5.9 Breast Cancer Women who currently have or have had breast cancer, or have suspicion of breast cancer, should not use hormonal contraception, including Kyleena, because some breast cancers are hormone-sensitive [see Contraindications (4)]. Spontaneous reports of breast cancer have been received during postmarketing experience with LNG-releasing IUS. Observational studies of the risk of breast cancer with use of LNG-releasing IUS do not provide conclusive evidence of increased risk. 5.10 Clinical Considerations for Use and Removal Use Kyleena with caution after careful assessment if any of the following conditions exist, and consider removal of the system if any of them arise during use:oCoagulopathy or use of anticoagulantsoMigraine, focal migraine with asymmetrical visual loss or other symptoms indicating transient cerebral ischemiaoExceptionally severe headacheoMarked increase of blood pressureoSevere arterial disease such as stroke or myocardial infarctionIn addition, consider removing Kyleena if any of the following conditions arise during use:oUterine or cervical malignancy oJaundiceIf the threads are not visible or are significantly shortened, they may have broken or retracted into the cervical canal or uterus. Consider the possibility that the system may have been displaced (for example, expelled or perforated the uterus) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5, 5.6)]. Exclude pregnancy and verify the location of Kyleena, for example, by sonography, X-ray, or by gentle exploration of the cervical canal with suitable instrument. If Kyleena is displaced, remove it. new Kyleena may be inserted at that time or during the next menses if it is certain that conception has not occurred. If Kyleena is in place with no evidence of perforation, no intervention is indicated.. oCoagulopathy or use of anticoagulants. oMigraine, focal migraine with asymmetrical visual loss or other symptoms indicating transient cerebral ischemia. oExceptionally severe headache. oMarked increase of blood pressure. oSevere arterial disease such as stroke or myocardial infarction. oUterine or cervical malignancy oJaundice. 5.11 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Information Non-clinical testing has demonstrated that Kyleena is MR Conditional. patient with Kyleena can be safely scanned in an MR system meeting the following conditions:oStatic magnetic field of 3.0 or lessoMaximum spatial field gradient of 36,000 gauss/cm (360 T/m) oMaximum MR system reported, whole body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of 4W/kg (First Level Controlled Operating Mode) Under the scan conditions defined above, the Kyleena IUS is expected to produce maximum temperature rise of less than 2C after 15 minutes of continuous scanning. In non-clinical testing, the image artifact caused by the IUS extended up to mm from the IUS when imaged with gradient echo pulse sequence and 3.0 MRI system.. oStatic magnetic field of 3.0 or less. oMaximum spatial field gradient of 36,000 gauss/cm (360 T/m) oMaximum MR system reported, whole body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of 4W/kg (First Level Controlled Operating Mode) MRI.
