It is of great significance to China's public health. MPTs can be combinations of multiple drugs for different indications, or they can be a single product with multiple indications. Currently, there are more than 20 MPTs products in various stages of development, including female condoms, sustained release vaginal rings, vaginal gels, vaginal films, implants, oral tablets and microarray patches. Most of the products are for vaginal topical delivery. In this paper, the research and development progress, research trends and development challenges of anti-AIDS/STIs contraceptive products at home and abroad are reviewed.
