Long-lasting Contraceptive: A Shot in the Arm

Researchers have developed an injectable contraceptive that forms a long-term implant within the body.

Animal studies show the implant effectively releases medication for months, potentially extending to years.

While still early, this advancement could greatly improve access to contraception, especially in areas with limited healthcare.
