Recognition of pharmacists' role in sexual and reproductive health is growing. There is a substantial body of literature on pharmacists' participation in this area of health care that has led to significantly improved access for the public. In this paper, the author examines the current practices of pharmacists providing pharmaceutical care in sexual and reproductive health. This leads into a discussion of the public's interest and other healthcare providers' perceptions of the pharmacist role in sexual and reproductive health. The author argues that pharmacy education in sexual and reproductive health should be re‐examined to better equip practising pharmacists and future pharmacists with the knowledge and skills they need for this sensitive domain. Suggestions on future research in this area are discussed.

The term "forgettable contraception" has received less attention in family planning than has "long-acting reversible contraception." Defined here as a method requiring attention no more often than every 3 years, forgettable contraception includes sterilization (female or male), intrauterine devices, and implants. Five principal factors determine contraceptive effectiveness: efficacy, compliance, continuation, fecundity, and the timing of coitus. Of these, compliance and continuation dominate; the key determinants of contraceptive effectiveness are human, not pharmacological. Human nature undermines methods with high theoretical efficacy, such as oral contraceptives and injectable contraceptives. By obviating the need to think about contraception for long intervals, forgettable contraception can help overcome our human fallibility. As a result, all forgettable contraception methods provide first-tier effectiveness (
