It further discusses the development of hormonal contraceptives, the recent evidence about health benefits and risks, issues in oral contraceptive use, and new drugs and their benefits. The hormonal contraceptive methods in the form of oral contraceptive pills and injectables enjoy the first choice of Filipino women who use contraceptive methods. Discontinuation rates are due to side effects and health concerns. The method failure for such methods is 5.4% in the first year. The prospect of immediate future use is higher than with other methods. The paper makes some recommendations on hormonal contraceptives for individuals and institutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keywords<\/h5>\n\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag wp-block-post-terms\"><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__prefix\"><br><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=hormonal-contraceptives\" rel=\"tag\">hormonal contraceptives<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=injectables\" rel=\"tag\">injectables<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=reproductive-control-methods\" rel=\"tag\">reproductive control methods<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\"  class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/TNP-2003-25-2_10_Hormonal-Contraception-Demographic-Crisis-Philippines.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:1091px\" aria-label=\"Embed of TNP 2003 (25, 2)_10_Hormonal Contraception Demographic Crisis Philippines.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-3dec78f2-819e-437f-bc64-ca57817387af\" href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/TNP-2003-25-2_10_Hormonal-Contraception-Demographic-Crisis-Philippines.pdf\">TNP 2003 (25, 2)_10_Hormonal Contraception Demographic Crisis Philippines<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/TNP-2003-25-2_10_Hormonal-Contraception-Demographic-Crisis-Philippines.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-3dec78f2-819e-437f-bc64-ca57817387af\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mildred C.
