What is norplant?
Norplant is a synthetic hormone containing progesterone used to prevent pregnancy. They are supplied as 6 match-sized sticks and last up to 5 years. The norplant sticks are surgically inserted into the upper arm, where they will remain for 5 years or until you decide you want to have children. Although this method was popular in the late 80’s, its users dropped due to reports of scarring from removal.
