Concurrent use of hormonal long‐acting reversible contraception by women of reproductive age dispensed teratogenic medications, Australia, 2013–2021: a retrospective cohort study

Awareness of the importance of hormonal contraception and its uptake by women prescribed category X medications should be increased.
