Message definition (Vietnam)
* For birth control pills (oral contraceptives), you can buy them at the many pharmacies (called "nha thuoc") throughout Hanoi. The word for birth control is Vietnamese is "thuốc tránh thai" (how to pronounce it: thwork chanh tide). Some of the reported brands include HN Choice, Rigevidon, Marvelon, Microgynon. There are also many generic or Vietnamese brands in Hanoi pharmacies, and most medications appear to be made in Vietnam or India. 
* Nuvaring is not available Vietnam. We asked many pharmacies -- and none of them carried Nuvaring. 
* You can buy vaginal contraceptive film, which is very similar to spermicide, under the brand name "VCF." 
* For IUDs, you can go to [http://www.internationalsos.com/ International SOS]:, they have the Mirena IUD at an all inclusive (consultation as well) cost of $370, they also have quite a selection of birth control pills including Yaz, Marvelon, Mercilon, Rigevidon, Diane 35 and Embevin 28. The prices for these oral contraceptives range from a minimum of $2 to a maximum of $16.
*[http://www.vietnammedicalpractice.com/ Family Medical Practice]: Normal IUD insertion is $142 USD, IUD insertion with Mirena is $351 USD. If you want a non-hormonal IUD, that is also available (but it's not Paragard) for an addition $20. Note that the consultation fee ($95) is not included in the general fee. There may be additional costs for tests or medications. For the procedure, they don't have equipment for local anesthesia on the cervix, but they can give painkillers 30-60 minutes before insertion of IUDs. They may also be able to prescribe Misopostrol on the evening before insertion to facilitate the procedure.
* Another option for IUDS is Hong Ngoc Hospital (near Truc Bach Lake in Ba Dinh). They charge 1.6 million VND for removal (not sure about cost for insertion, but it's probably cheaper than Family Medical Practice).
