Liberte TT380 (Intrauterine Device with Copper) is a prescription medical device used to prevent pregnancy. Pregnancy begins with sperm meeting and fertilizing an egg during ovulation. After fertilization, the egg travels to the uterus, where it implants and begins to develop into an embryo. Liberte TT380 is an effective birth control method that does not require a backup birth control like condoms. The active ingredient in Liberte TT380 is Intrauterine Device with Copper. Intrauterine Device with Copper belongs to a class of medical devices called non-hormonal contraceptives. It works by releasing copper ions that create an inflammatory reaction in the uterus, making the environment hostile to sperm and eggs and preventing fertilization. It also prevents the implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterine lining. Liberte TT380 is reversible and can provide effective contraception for up to 10 years.
