A member asked:
Does the steroid prednisone have an affect on birth control such as the mirena (levonorgestrel)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: In general by itself no, but if you have a medical problem like lupus and steroids control it you may have a greater chance of getting pregnant and having a successful pregnancy . It is not an iud.
