Synopsis

Family practitioners are often in the best position to offer sound advice on contraceptives because they already know the patient's health, circumstances and history. Some practices make excellent use of this opportunity, while others provide little beyond oral contraception and a passing approach to counseling. Whether that fleeting attention is due to a lack of time or a paucity of skills, the latest edition of the best-selling pocketbook addresses the need. Contraception Today summarizes the developments in available methods, including oral, patch, IUD and injectable contraceptives, and explains what factors to consider in suggesting the right contraceptive for a patient.

'A complete, easy to use guide to contraception for quick reference for healthcare practitioners ... gives complete and relevant information about different types of contraceptives. The practice guidelines are particularly helpful.' - Doody's Review
