These texty can be considered the contemporary view of the gynaecological community to whom and how to prescribe modem Contraception, and it would be useful if also general practitioners and possibly doctors from other disciplines, if consulted by their clients and patients, would use the same language.The following text is an abstract of all four published recommendations. It is focused above all on questions which pertain to non-gynaecological practice.
