Cochrane reviews
- Expulsion rates may be higher with immediate post-partum insertion of IUD than with delayed insertion 6 to 8 weeks post-partum .
- The frameless intrauterine device performs similarly to TCu380, and appears to have a slightly lower pregnancy rate in later years .
- TCu380A is more effective compared to other copper containing, framed IUDs for contraception .
- Use of either doxycycline 200 mg or azithromycin 500 mg by mouth before IUD insertion appears to confer little benefit .
Other evidence summaries
Theory-driven, peer-led, multiple-session behavioural interventions that address gender relationships are effective in increasing condom use .
