Resumen

RODRIGUEZ FERRA, Reinaldo; GOMEZ GARCIA, Lourdes  y  CONDE MARTIN, Marlene. Caracterización de las progestinas inyectables y sus beneficios en la Planificación Familiar. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2003, vol.19, n.2. ISSN 0864-2125.

A review of the characterization of injectable progestin-only contraceptives and their benefits for the family planning was made. Their efficacy, mechanisms of action, advantages and disadvantages of their use, specific indications, management of side effects, eligibility of a method to start their use, WHO procedures and categories, the steps to begin using these contraceptives and the follow-up of women opting for this method were all reviewed. It was concluded that progestin-only injectable contraceptives bring benefits to the family planning since their efficacy is high, although their use in women having chronic conditions depends on an adequate counseling. We stated that this is a good contraceptive option for our patients.
