- W4300009888 abstract "New Era for Injectables, a report published in the most recent issue of the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health's Population Reports, notes that injectable contraceptives are among the most effective family planning methods. Most clinical trials report less than one pregnancy per 100 women during the first year of use, making injectables as effective as Norplant implants, the best copper IUDs, and voluntary sterilization. Injectables also protect women against ectopic pregnancy, help to prevent endometrial and possibly ovarian cancer, and may help women with anemia and sickle-cell disease. The major side effect of injectable use is changes in menstrual bleeding. Some women also experience weight gain, and a few report headaches, dizziness, abdominal discomfort, acne, and moodiness. The most widely-used injectable is the progestin-only DMPA (depot medroxyprogesterone acetate), known under the brand name Depo-Provera and manufactured by the Upjohn Company. Women receive an injection every 3 months. Another progestin-only injectable, NET EN (norethindrone enanthate), is taken every 2 months. Cyclofem and Mesigyna, two new monthly injectables which combine estrogen and progestin, are currently being introduced in a number of countries. Worldwide, 1.5% of all married women of reproductive age who use some form of family planning use injectables. The highest level of use among such women is in Indonesia and Thailand where 15% and 12%, respectively, use injectables. Donor agencies have been responding to increasing numbers of orders for injectables from family planning programs in developing countries, while the UN Population Fund, the largest supplier, shipped 12 million doses of injectables in 1992 and 20 million in 1994. The 1992 US Food and Drug Administration approval of DMPA has made it possible for the US Agency of International Development to respond to requests for it." @default.
