Contraceptive drugs and devices are medical products designed to prevent pregnancy using various methods. Contraceptive drugs typically contain synthetic hormones that inhibit ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, or alter the uterine lining. On the other hand, contraceptive devices include physical barriers that block sperm from reaching the egg and systems inserted into the uterus to prevent fertilization or implantation.
The primary categories of contraceptive products are contraceptive drugs and contraceptive devices. Contraceptive drugs are medications that work by disrupting the normal processes of ovulation, fertilization, or implantation. The technologies involved range from traditional methods and digital contraceptive apps to wearable devices and long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs). These products are distributed through various channels such as hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, clinics, online platforms, public channels, and non-governmental organizations, serving a diverse range of end users, including both males and females.
