Introduction: Our group has been developing a new contraceptive technology using microneedle (MN) patches aimed at providing long-term contraception, improving access and continuation through self-administration, and offering a cost-effective solution suitable for global use. (1). This study aims to evaluate the in vivo release profile of MNs designed for six-month contraceptive delivery in rats and compare it with their in vitro release profile.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this activity, participants will know
Understand the design and fabrication of contraceptive MN patches.
Evaluate in vitro and in vivo release profiles of contraceptive MN patches.
