Is the hormonal IUD widely available in India?

\n

Yes. Hormonal IUDs are accessible in India through both private healthcare providers and certain public health programs. The Emirelle LNG-IUS by DKT India is one of the commonly distributed options, ensuring availability across various regions.

\n

Do I need a prescription to get a hormonal IUD in India?

\n

Yes. You cannot buy a hormonal IUD over the counter. You must first consult a gynaecologist or trained healthcare provider to discuss contraceptive options. If you are a suitable candidate and decide to use the LNG-IUS, the doctor will arrange or order the device and perform the insertion procedure in a clinical setting under sterile conditions.

\n

Is there any age restriction for accessing a hormonal IUD in India?

\n

There is no legally set minimum or maximum age for using a hormonal IUD. However, since a healthcare professional must prescribe and insert the device, providers usually evaluate your overall health, reproductive history, and suitability before making a recommendation. In practice, LNG-IUS devices are mainly offered to women of reproductive age, but eligibility depends on medical appropriateness rather than age alone.

\n

How much does a hormonal IUD cost in India?

\n

The cost of a hormonal IUD (LNG-IUS) in India typically ranges from Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 5,000, depending on: the brand, the type of healthcare facility (government hospital, private clinic, or multispecialty hospital), or whether it is obtained through public sector programs or private purchase. In addition to the device cost, patients should factor in:
\n– Doctor’s consultation fee, usually between Rs. 500 to Rs. 1,500 depending on the practitioner and city
\n– Insertion procedure and facility charges, typically Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 2,500, depending on whether the procedure is performed in a clinic or hospital setup.
\nOverall, the total cost for hormonal IUD insertion in India can range between Rs. 4,500 and Rs. 8,000, inclusive of consultation, device, and procedure charges.

\n

Which hormonal IUD brands are available in India?

\n

The main hormonal IUD brands currently available in India are: Emirelle Levonorgestrel 52 mg Intrauterine System (LNG-IUS) by DKT India. Emirelle is a small, soft, and flexible intrauterine device that slowly releases a low dose of levonorgestrel (a hormone similar to progesterone) directly into the uterus. This provides long-term, reversible contraception for up to five years. Besides preventing pregnancy, the hormonal IUD helps reduce heavy menstrual bleeding and cramps.
