[Contraception 2010. What's new?].

Innovation is not a synonym for progress. A good knowledge of the current contraceptives (composition, doses, side effects, price) and a good counselling remain the best guarantors of an effective contraception. The "two days later after aftermorning pill" can not take the place of the classic "tomorrow after pill". The oral contraception taken "non stop" and the "quick start" method are real progress. Male contraception do protect men against unwanted pregnancy.
