To investigate relative efficacy of intrauterine diclofenac and ibuprofen as adjuvants to intrauterine quinacrine for nonsurgical sterilization, a total of 900 women were systematically allocated to 2 monthly insertions of pellets of diclofenac (75 mg) or ibuprofen (55.5 mg) as adjuvants to intrauterine quinacrine (216 mg) in a rural private practice in West Bengal, India. All women were prescribed oral contraceptives for three months from first insertion. In the middle of the study increased care was taken to insert pellets at the fundus. There was no statistically significant difference found in cumulative life-table pregnancy failure rates at 36 months for women receiving diclofenac (2.7 +/- 0.82) or ibuprofen (3.4 +/- 0.89). Taking care to insert pellets at the fundus resulted in a decline of failures at 24 months from 4.4 +/- 0.92 to zero. Intrauterine administration of pellets of quinacrine (216 mg) plus diclofenac (75 mg) or ibuprofen (55.5 mg) with 3 months' oral contraception provides acceptable efficacy if pellets are inserted to the fundus.
