Abstract		New views on the choices of contraceptive methods were reviewed. Factors important for appropriate choice of method were stated. Women seeking protection from pregnancy require adequate information about the relative merits and risks of current contraceptive options. A basic understanding of the mechanism of action, efficacy and risks of side effects allows women the correct choice and confidence in their chosen method. In the event of dissatisfaction, too, an informed woman can switch to an alternative. New contraceptive modalities are stated - from oral contraceptives, transdermal, injectable and implantable devices to vaginal rings and barrier contraceptives.
