New delivery system in contraception: vaginal rings

Article Abstract:

Vaginal rings provide extended release of hormones that are implanted in the core of the ring and slowly disseminate into vaginal tissue. Advantages of the vaginal ring method are that it is user controlled, does not interfere with intercourse, does not require daily intake of a pill, and allows continuous delivery of a low dose of steroids.
