Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) 1
What are they?
Contraceptives that are long-lasting and reversible are called Long Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs). Depending on which sort you use, they work from two or three months to three, five or even ten years. This means they take the daily hassle out of contraception. They are also reversible, if you decide you no longer want to use contraception. There are four methods.
Consider...
. . . using long-acting reversible contraceptives if you:
- want a reliable contraceptive that you don’t have to remember every day
- want a method which is effective but reversible
- are not planning to have a child in the immediate future
- are currently breast-feeding.
