KYLEENA is a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (IUS) approved in 2016 for contraception. It is a small-molecule progestin delivered directly to the uterus via an intrauterine device, providing long-acting reversible contraception. The device releases levonorgestrel locally to prevent pregnancy through multiple mechanisms including cervical mucus thickening and endometrial suppression.
