LARC is a cost effective option

27 Aug 2009Registered users

Contraceptive implants are highly cost effective when compared with oral contraception, a case-controlled retrospective study has shown. The costs of providing a sub-dermal contraceptive implant and oral contraception were compared in a cohort of 493 users of each type of contraceptive method. The study was conducted over a period of 36 months in a community sexual reproductive health clinic in south east Wales. [With external links to current evidence]
