A member asked:
I went to the doctor about pain in my lower left back and they gave me a staroid but i have the iud mirena, will the staroid effect my birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mirena IUD: The Mirena IUD has progesterone imbedded within, but the steroid medications used to control back pain will not affect the progesterone protection of the IUD, and the plastic part of the IUD is also part of the birth control aspect of this IUD, which is also not affected by steroid use.
