A member asked:
Copper iud is said to be effective but is there a possibility of copper toxicity? i want a non hormonal birth control.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: If a woman is not allergic to copper and does not have a pre-exisiting copper exposure that has increased her level of copper, then it is not likely that the Copper T would cause any toxicity problems.
