Intrauterine Devices (IUD) with progestogen have been marketed as a safe alternative to birth control
pills and other options such as the patch or injections, but Consumer Safety Watch says manufacturers have failed to warn women and their doctors of the link to pseudotumor cerebri.

Mirena IUD and Ortho Evra have been linked to symptoms that include migraines, tinnitus (hissing, roaring, ringing or whooshing sound in the ears), vision loss, Nausea, vomiting or dizziness, loss of balance, and additional symptoms.
