The United Kingdom’s lead regulatory agency, the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), has authorized self-injection of Pfizer’s subcutaneous injectable contraceptive, Sayana® Press, in that country. This update to the Sayana Press label adds the option for self-injection when considered appropriate by a health care professional, making it the first injectable contraceptive in the United Kingdom available for self-administration. Sayana Press is a lower-dose formulation and presentation of the three-month injectable contraceptive Depo-Provera®. Pfizer also announced plans to seek regulatory approval of the updated Sayana Press label in a number of additional countries with high unmet need and demand for injectable contraception, such as Burkina Faso, Uganda, and Senegal.
