Combined injectable contraceptives (Mesigyna)

Mesigyna is a combination of a short-acting oestrogen and long-acting progesterone that is administered by intramuscular injection to give protection for one month. It is not available in Ethiopia at the moment; however it may come in the future. Note that all of its actions and effectiveness are similar to combined oral contraceptives.
