LARC – Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive

Methods of birth control that provide effective contraception for an extended period without requiring user action. They include injections, intrauterine devices (IUDs) and subdermal contraceptive implants. They are the most effective reversible methods of contraception because they do not depend on patient compliance. So, their typical use failure rates, at less than 1% per year, are about the same as perfect use failure rates.
