Area of Science:

  • Reproductive endocrinology
  • Pharmacology of hormonal contraceptives

Context:

  • Review of existing literature on progestogen-only contraceptives.
  • Focus on contraceptive implants and injectable formulations.

Purpose:

  • To summarize the mechanisms, efficacy, and safety of contraceptive implants and injectable contraceptives.
  • To highlight their role as alternatives for women with contraindications to combined oral contraceptives.

Summary:

  • Contraceptive implants and injectables provide continuous progestogen release, primarily inhibiting ovulation.
  • Key active substances include depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo-Provera) and levonorgestrel (Norplant).
  • Both methods demonstrate high efficacy with rapid fertility return post-discontinuation, and have few contraindications, mainly altered menstrual bleeding.

Impact:

  • These progestogen-only methods offer a valuable contraceptive option for a broad range of women.
  • Understanding their profiles aids in informed patient counseling and selection of appropriate birth control methods.
