Does Mirena affect calcium absorption

Mirena, a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) that releases levonorgestrel, does not have a direct impact on calcium absorption. However, hormonal contraceptives can influence bone density over time, particularly if used for extended periods. It is important for individuals using Mirena to maintain adequate calcium and vitamin D intake to support bone health, especially if they are on long-term hormonal contraception. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
