Issue Date: | 1992 | Citation: | Singh, K., Viegas, O.A.C., Ratnam, S.S. (1992). Acceptability of Norplant®-2 rods as a method of family planning. Contraception 45 (5) : 453-461. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/0010-7824(92)90158-P | Abstract: | The Norplant®-2 rod system consists of two silastic rods in which levonorgestrel has been incorporated with the polymer. The continuation rate at the end of five year was 62%. No accidental pregnancies occurred throughout the five years of use. The post-removal conception rate in women desiring pregnancy was 70.8% at the end of two years. The majority of acceptors were happy with the rods and 86.8% expressed the desire to have another set of implants inserted following removal of the first set. The study shows the Norplant®-2 rod system to be a well accepted method of family planning. | Source Title: | Contraception | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/36904 | ISSN: | 00107824 | DOI: | 10.1016/0010-7824(92)90158-P |
