Which of the following is hormone releasing IUD ?
- Lippes loop
- LNG-20
- Cu7
- Multiload 375
Answer
(2) LNG-20
Solution
As per NCERT, IUDs are of three types: non-medicated IUDs (e.g. Lippes loop), copper releasing IUDs (CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375) and hormone releasing IUDs (Progestasert, LNG-20).
∴ LNG-20 releases a hormone (levonorgestrel), while Lippes loop is non-medicated and Cu7 and Multiload 375 release copper ions.
