Após exclusão, calcularam-se as despesas totais somando os custos do produto, atualizados pelo Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo (IPCA), e taxas de infusão. Resultados: Evidenciou-se que 185 pacientes, totalizando 1.441 liberações, utilizaram IFX referência no período avaliado. Destas, 31 liberações foram excluídas devido aos critérios estipulados. Por fim, 1.410 liberações foram incluídas. Identificou-se a utilização de 5.354 frascos de IFX referência, por 12 especialidades, totalizando
Brazil urgently needs to identify an adequate and quick solution to reduce the high rate of unplanned pregnancies in the country and its consequences in terms of maternal morbidity and mortality, as well as the high rate of unsafe abortions. Reproductive planning is one of the most successful interventions in public health and has been the subject of governmental discussions in all spheres. Brazil faces a long period of lack of population information regarding contraceptive behaviour, especially regarding the availability of a wider range of contraceptive methods. Faced with enormous social challenges and aiming to minimize the financial impacts, the Etonogestrel Subdermal Implant, can be considered a contraceptive option of clinical and socioeconomic interest to public and supplementary health. In Europe, the use of contraceptive options is widely used; however, there is room for greater provision of sexual health services, better formal sexual education and better training of providers, in addition to the possibility of increasing acceptance of the most effective and long-lasting contraceptives, and improve the use of all methods. The commentary brings perspectives to understand the panorama.
