When the FDA approves an IUD for the market, they also recommend those maximum usage dates you see above. But data has shown that some IUDs may be effective for longer in certain groups of people, Dr. Policar says., analyzed 3,755 people with IUDs. The study participants were over 16 and under 40 and, at some point, had been at or over 20 weeks pregnant, delivered a fetus of a certain weight, or had children.
That’s how you can end up with a device that says it’s good for a certain number of years but may be able to actually work for longer. “If additional research is done that shows it works longer, the company can petition the FDA to change the package labeling. If the FDA is convinced, they’ll do that,” Dr. Policar says.
