*ORDER YOUR SOFTCOVER 17th EDITION!
The news in the 17th edition is decreased estrogen. In 1977 the first edition of Managing Contraceptive Pill Patients listed 29 pills, 20 of which contained 50 mcg of estrogen – nearly 70%. The book was 100 pages in length, and offered 35 references. More than four decades later there are 150 pills in the 17th edition, but only five contain 50 mcg of estrogen. Ever-evolving research has been the standard for this resource, and is detailed in 673 references.
The new 17th Edition offers an analysis of each new pill listed in 18 tables, as well as other hormonal contraceptive delivery systems. Included are:
- 4 intrauterine delivery systems
- 3 injectables
- 2 vaginal rings, and
- 1 skin patch and 1 implant.
The unique center-indexed format of the first edition was revolutionary in sharing an exhaustive quantity of medical data in tables and narrative. “The Pill” was a relatively new product in 1977. First released in 1960, patients and providers needed comprehensive, clear information that would ensure comfort, protection and continued use.
The Sixteenth Edition of MCPP also included guidance on hormone replacement therapy. The additional content was valued by our clients, but it was decided that focus on new hormonal contraception data was needed in 2021.
