Call your healthcare provider right away if you think you are pregnant. If possible,
also do a urine pregnancy test. If you get pregnant while using LILETTA, you may have
an ectopic pregnancy. This means that the pregnancy is not in the uterus. Unusual vaginal
bleeding or abdominal pain especially with missed periods may be a sign of ectopic pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy is a medical emergency that often requires surgery. Ectopic pregnancy
can cause internal bleeding, infertility, and even death.
There are also risks if you get pregnant while using LILETTA and the pregnancy is in the
uterus. Severe infection, miscarriage, premature labor, premature delivery, and even death
can occur with pregnancies that continue with an intrauterine system (IUS). Because of this,
your healthcare provider may try to remove LILETTA, even though removing it may cause a miscarriage.
If LILETTA cannot be removed, talk with your healthcare provider about the benefits and risks of continuing the pregnancy.
If you continue your pregnancy, see your healthcare provider regularly. Call your
healthcare provider right away if you get flu-like symptoms, fever, chills, cramping,
pain, bleeding, vaginal discharge, or fluid leaking from your vagina. These may be signs of infection.
It is not known if LILETTA can cause long-term effects on the fetus if it stays in place during a pregnancy.
