Viatris received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Gwyn Lo, a once-weekly transdermal contraceptive patch.
The low-dose estrogen product prevents pregnancy in women with a body mass index below 30 kg/m².
The Phase 3 Luminous Study demonstrated the patch's contraceptive efficacy and safety profile.
Only 1.3% of nearly 40,000 patches fully detached during the year-long trial.
Viatris expects Gwyn Lo to be commercially available later this year.
