- W2275016830 abstract "Almost 12 months after approval of the contraceptive implant Norplant in the US public health officials and family planning providers have announced that Norplant is safe and effective and its popularity is growing. Around 100000 US women have accepted Norplant fewer than 1% of the number of US women who use oral contraceptives (OCs). Most Norplant acceptors have switched from OCs. More than 25000 clinicians have undergone training in inserting the six capsules under the skin of the upper arm through a small incision. Medicaid pays for Norplant for poor women in all states except California and Massachusetts. Benefits of Norplant include: no need to remember to take a pill; easily reversible; highest efficacy rate of any contraceptive; and avoidance of safety concerns that are common among most new contraceptives. Many people fear that Norplant can be used to coerce poor women criminals or women with AIDS. A parole officer or a welfare official could monitor Norplant use. Some state legislators have proposed financial incentives for welfare mothers to use Norplant. Another shadow of the early optimism for Norplant is its high initial cost ($350 for the device and $150-$650 for insertion counseling and check-ups). Since many insurance companies do not cover contraceptives the high cost of Norplant is a real obstacle for many women. The demand for Norplant is high at subsidized family planning clinics. Norplants manufacturer reports that sales are ahead of expectations. A 27-year-old woman from Baltimore is pleased with Norplant which cannot be seen as feared. In her case insertion took only nine minutes (normal insertion time is 10 minutes). Norplant protects against pregnancy for five years. The leading side effect is menstrual disturbances. It appears that Norplant is most effective in women weighing less than 150 pounds." @default.
