Birth control shot for women
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new birth control shot called levonorgestrel butanoate. It's given under the skin and aims to prevent pregnancy safely. If you're a healthy woman of childbearing age looking for a long-acting contraceptive, this might be an option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
