Antifertility Agents

Abstract

No major new pharmacological developments in the past few years have occurred to suggest an imminent completely unique, clinically effective, new antifertility agent. The volume of reports attests to the great current interest in this area of research, and there is considerable possibility that the current methods, the microdose progestogens, and the new injection methods of administration of the present hormonal agents, or other potential "break-throughs" may significantly alter our disastrous population trends[long dash]provided they can be put to wide use. But this is more of a socioeconomic-theologic-political problem than a pharmacological one.
