Abstract
Compared with many drugs the development of a new contraceptive product is expensive and relatively high risk. The pattern of contraceptive use is unlikely to change radically in the next 10 years. No one method will be suitable for everyone and personal preferences will probably change through each reproductive life. In the next 5 years more sophisticated systems for the delivery of steroid hormones through or under the skin and into the uterus will extend the range of options available. In 5 to 10 years new steroid antagonists such as antiprogestins will replace some current contraceptive methods such as gestagen-only pills and probably lead to new approaches like a once-a-month pill. By 10 to 15 years the dream of an effective safe male pill will probably become a reality shifting the burden of responsibility for contraception more equally between men and women. (excerpt)
