  • Five-year continuation rates were 96% (year 1), 92% (year 2), 88% (year 3), 82% (year 4), and 78% (year 5).
  • Bleeding problems were the primary reason for Norplant removal.
  • The cumulative five-year net pregnancy rate was 1.8 per 100 women.

Conclusions:

  • Norplant contraceptive system exhibits high acceptability and long-term effectiveness among temporary contraceptive methods.
  • The high continuation rates suggest good patient satisfaction and tolerance.
  • Norplant provides a reliable reversible contraceptive option with a low failure rate.
