Long Acting Reversible Contraception or LARC

LARC is Long Acting Reversible Contraception and there are two types, both of which can be placed with a procedure done at your doctor’s office, says Allison Macerollo, MD, a Family Medicine physician at The Ohio State University Medical Center. Subcutaneous implanted devices are inserted in the upper arm, and can remain for up to three years. They are hormone based and suppress ovulation. Intra Uterine Devices, or IUDs), may be hormone or non-hormone based, and last varying lengths of time, depending on the manufacturer. Hormone-based IUDs contain small amounts of progesterone, but women may still ovulate, so the hormone makes the uterus an unfriendly place for a baby to develop. LARC devices are appropriate for young patients and women of child bearing years. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, call (614) 688-6490 or visit http://wexnermedical.osu.edu/patient-....
