Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy).

ABSTRACT

The advantages and disadvantages of hormonal contraception are discu ssed. The advantages of hormonal

contraception include its effectivenes s, its often favorable effect on other conditions, its separation from the sex act,

its low cost, and its immediate reversibility. The chief disadvantage is the large number of side effects, most of

which are not serious or long-lasting; their effects on acceptability and continuation rates are considerable however.

The sequential preparations, because of the more physiological mode of action, are preferred to combined

preparations in certain gynecological disorders. The author anticipates the development of new dosage forms and

preparations which will help to solve the problem of side effects (3-month injection, 1-month injection, minipill).
