ABSTRACT

Oral contraceptives are the most effective contraception agents available according to experts at a New York

University seminar. Combined -type oral agents fail rarely--.007 pregnancies per 100 women per year. The

sequential agents are somewhat less effective. Other contraceptives classified as "most effective" are: the

injectable progestogens and temperature-based rhythm. Highly effective" methods are: IUDs, diaphragm and jelly,

condom, and daily progestogen minidoses. Motivation is a crucial factor in the effectiveness of condoms and the

diaphragm. "Less effective" are: chemical agents without a diaphragm--foams, jellies, creams, and suppositories,

coitus interruptus, and calendar-based rhythm. "Least effective" are postcoital douching and total breast feeding.

Thyroid and heart disease and diabetes must be considered when prescribing contraceptives. (PubHealth.info
