    No perfect contraceptive is imminent. The most promising development, synthetic analogs of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), may not be available until the late 1980s, and other methods face significant challenges.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive endocrinology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Contraceptive development faces significant challenges.
    • Existing methods have limitations and side effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the current landscape of contraceptive development.
    • To highlight promising future contraceptive technologies.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on contraceptive research.
    • Analysis of potential new contraceptive agents.

    Main Results:

    • No single contraceptive 'panacea' is expected soon.
    • Synthetic analogs of LHRH show promise but have a distant availability.
    • Other methods in trials encounter substantial obstacles.

    Conclusions:

    • Contraceptive research is ongoing, but breakthroughs are not immediate.
    • LHRH analogs represent a significant future prospect for contraception.
    • Further research and development are needed to overcome obstacles in current trials.
