Extract
Although steroid contraceptives have been in widespread use for many years, there still appears to be considerable uncertainty in the minds of many clinicians and family planning programme decision-makers regarding their prescription to nursing mothers. This uncertainty appears to be reflected in replies to a questionnaire sent by the Human Reproduction unit of WHO to scientists in its network of Collaborating Centres for Clinical Research in Human Reproduction regarding the current status of the use of steroid contraceptives by nursing mothers in different national settings. Although the information was, of necessity, in some cases imprecise, the following impressions were gained about eighteen countries: (Australia, Canada, Chile, Egypt, Holland, Hungary, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, USA, Zambia).
