    The Multiload Cu 250 intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) demonstrated a zero pregnancy rate over one year in a study of 299 women. This highly effective contraception showed a low expulsion rate and minimal complications, indicating good acceptability and safety.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Health
    • Contraception
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCDs) are a key method of reversible contraception.
    • Assessing the safety and efficacy of specific IUCD models is crucial for family planning.
    • The Multiload Cu 250 is a copper-bearing IUCD designed for long-term use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the performance of the Multiload Cu 250 IUCD in a real-world clinical setting.
    • To determine the pregnancy and expulsion rates associated with its use over a one-year period.
    • To assess the safety profile, including complications, and ease of insertion and removal.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study involving 299 women fitted with Multiload Cu 250 IUCDs across five family planning clinics.

  • One-year follow-up data were collected and analyzed using life-table methodology.
  • Data included pregnancy events, expulsions, and any difficulties encountered during insertion or removal.
  • Main Results:

    • A total of 2425 women-months of use were analyzed.
    • The study recorded a zero pregnancy rate, indicating high contraceptive efficacy.
    • An expulsion rate of 5.0% was observed, with no serious complications reported.

    Conclusions:

    • The Multiload Cu 250 IUCD is a highly effective and safe contraceptive option for women.
    • The device exhibits a low expulsion rate and minimal insertion/removal complications.
    • Findings support the use of Multiload Cu 250 IUCDs in family planning programs.
