Arms & Interventions
Jadelle
Contraception using Jadelle implant
Intervention: Jadelle (Drug)
Sino-implant (II)
levonorgestrel containing subdermal contraceptive implant [Zarin, Femplant, Trust or Simplant]
Intervention: Sino-implant (II) (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes

- Compare free levonorgestrel index through 5 years after insertion of Sino-implant (II) and Jadelle in a sub-group of approximately 150 users.(5 years)
- Compare pharmacokinetic profiles of Sino-implant (II) and Jadelle during the first 6 months of use in a sub-group of users undergoing intensive levonorgestrel sampling(5 years)
- Compare the safety and acceptability of Sino-implant (II) and Jadelle during 5 years of use(5 years)
