The Single Rod Subdermal Contraceptive Implant–A New Contraceptive Choice for Indian Women
Abstract
Subdermal Contraceptive Implants have been available globally for the past three decades. In India, the Single Rod Subdermal Contraceptive Implant was introduced in the private sector in 2018. In March 2023, as part of its FP2030 commitment, the Government of India introduced Single Rod Subdermal Contraceptive Implants and Depot Medroxy Progesterone Acetate subcutaneous injections into the basket of choices of contraceptives.
The addition of contraceptive implants has widened the choices for women to suit their contraceptive needs. The Single Rod Subdermal Contraceptive is a safe and effective option.
