RESUMO

Three operations research experiments were carried out in three provinces of Colombia to improve the cost-effectiveness of Profamilia's nonclinic-based programs. The experiments tested: (a) whether a contraceptive social marketing (CSM) strategy can replace a community-based distribution (CBD) program in a high contraceptive use area; (b) if wage incentives for salaried CBD instructors will increase contraceptive sales; and (c) whether a specially equipped information, education, and communication (IEC) team can replace a cadre of rural promoters to expand family planning coverage. All three strategies proved to be effective, but only the CSM system yielded a profit. Despite this, Profamilia discontinued its CSM program soon after the experiment was completed. Unexpected government controls regulating the price and sale of contraceptives in Colombia made the program unprofitable. As a result, family planning agencies are cautioned against replacing CBD programs with CSM. Instead, CBD programs might adopt a more commercial approach to become more efficient.

RESUMO

Dermatological toxicity has been reported following initiation of therapy with minoxidil, but no cases have been reported following prolonged use. We report the emergence of an erythematous weeping rash with impending exfoliation three years after the initiation of minoxidil therapy. Minoxidil was withdrawn and the patient responded to therapy with topical corticosteroids. Following minor surgery, the patient was inadvertently rechallenged with minoxidil. Within 24 hours of exposure bullous lesions reappeared in the extremities which again resolved with topical corticosteroids. Dermatological lesions observed on this patient were similar to those reported following acute minoxidil exposure and strongly implicate chronic minoxidil therapy.
