On the background of a vast, ever-increasing literature on family planning, birth control, and contraception, the paper aims to provide accurate and reliable information on the scientific basis of such research. The methodological concept of the paper consists in a discussion of knowledge in the areas of chemistry and biochemistry and its relevance for the advancement of insights into the mechanism of action of substances pivotal in hormonal and non-hormonal contraception. The study concludes that present-day publications on contraception contain incomplete, inaccurate and misleading information. As a consequence, it emphasizes the need for increased cooperation among experts in medicine, chemistry, and biology. Such cooperation will facilitate the exploration presently unknown adverse events and long-term effects. In addition it aims at clarifying the hitherto neglected topic of safety of contraceptive drugs and devices.Downloads
