Abstract
83 patients who were using jellies (2% lactic acid and 0.025 oxyquinoline sulphate in a vegetable gum base) as contraceptive measures were followed up to determine the contraceptive efficacy of jelly. The patients were grouped as regular users (group 1) irregular users (group 2) and never users (group 3). Results of the study were as follows: acid contraceptive jelly provided reasonable protection against undesired pregnancy; the regular users had an undesired pregnancy rate of 4/100 person-years of exposure to risk of pregnancy; undesired pregnancy rate for irregular users was 9/100 person-years; half of never user group used other forms of contraceptives reducing the groups rate of undesired pregnancy to 18/100 person-years of exposure; entire series before using jellies had an average pregnancy rate of 69/100 person-years of exposure; of the 83% of patients who used the jelly 1 month after delivery 23% used it regularly 51% irregularly and 26% never used it. Acceptability of the jelly thus seems low.
