About This Medication

# Liletta Patient Guide: How to Get Liletta at Low or No Cost Liletta (levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system) 52 mg is a hormonal **intrauterine device (IUD)** manufactured by **AbbVie** that provides birth control for up to 8 years by releasing levonorgestrel to prevent pregnancy. AbbVie offers multiple assistance options through **Liletta AccessConnect**, **Liletta Patient Savings Program**, and **myAbbVie Assist** to help eligible patients access it at reduced or no cost[1][2][3][5]. ## About Liletta **Liletta** is a small, T-shaped plastic device inserted into the uterus by a healthcare provider. It thickens cervical mucus, thins the uterine lining, and may suppress ovulation, offering long-term contraception with over 99% effectiveness. Unlike daily pills, it's 'set it and forget it' for up to 8 years, making it ideal for those seeking low-maintenance birth control. Common side effects include irregular bleeding, especially in the first months, headaches, and abdominal pain—discuss risks with your doctor. Full details are in the prescribing information on the manufacturer's site[1]. ## Who Qualifies for Assistance?
