- Abstract
Hormonal contraceptive products comprise oral, transdermal, intravaginal, intrauterine, intramuscular, and subcutaneous preparations available in a variety of doses and estrogen-progestin combinations. Due to the extent of products offered, it can be difficult for women's health clinicians to stay up-to-date on and understand the advantages and disadvantages of different dosage forms. This article provides an overview of hormonal contraceptive products and briefly discusses the risks and benefits associated with specific dosage forms to assist clinicians in the selection of the most appropriate product.
