Article Abstract:
The development of new progestins and reductions in oral contraceptive (OC) estrogen dose has resulted in formulations that maintain acceptable cycle control while improving safety.

New delivery system in contraception: vaginal rings
Article Abstract:
Vaginal rings provide extended release of hormones that are implanted in the core of the ring and slowly disseminate into vaginal tissue. Advantages of the vaginal ring method are that it is user controlled, does not interfere with intercourse, does not require daily intake of a pill, and allows continuous delivery of a low dose of steroids.
