1) WHAT IS THE MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
WHAT IS JANESS?
Janess is a T-shaped intrauterine delivery system which slowly
releases a small amount of the hormone levonorgestrel after
its installation inside the womb.
The system is intended for contraception for a period of up to
3 years.
Janess works by reducing the monthly growth of the lining
of the womb and thickening of the cervical mucosal layer.
These actions prevent the sperm and egg from coming into
contact and so prevent fertilization of an egg by sperm.
THERAPEUTIC GROUP: Janess belongs to a group of
medicines
that contain the female hormone progestogen.
