  • Title: Intrauterine contraception.
    Author: Rao RP, Scommegna A.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1977 Nov; 16(5):177-85. PubMed ID: 920572.
    Abstract:
    Newer medicated IUDs, such as the copper or progesterone-releasing devices, are more effective, better tolerated and have fewer side effects than nonmedicated IUDs. Major complications are rare if adequate precautions are taken. The IUD is an ideal contraceptive for patients with contraindications to oral contraception and for those who have difficulty remembering to utilize other methods.
