Expanding Contraceptive Choices for Women: The Vaginal pH Modulator

Host: David L. Eisenberg, MD, MPH, FACOG

Many women prefer to use a nonhormonal contraceptive. They also want the freedom to self-administer on demand and want assurances that the contraceptive is safe, effective, and has received FDA approval. One such contraceptive is a self-administered, hormone-free gel that functions as a vaginal pH modulator. Join Dr. David Eisenberg as he describes the evolution of this vaginal pH modulator and the clinical trials leading to FDA approval. Even more significant is patient acceptance, which was remarkably high for this contraceptive. In fact, approximately 9 out of 10 women participating in the clinical trials indicated they would continue using the vaginal pH modulator and also recommend this novel method to their friends.
