Contraception.

The supremacy of combined oral contraceptives (OCs) is being challenged. For too long combined OCs have been seen as synonymous with contraception, helping to maintain ignorance of alternative methods. Further, the efficacy of these OCs and condoms is often compromised by incorrect or inconsistent use. We particularly welcome developments in male systemic methods, that allow men to share not only in conception but also in contraception, and methods that are completely forgettable once instituted, especially if usable by adolescents.
