33641400 – Contraceptives

Contraceptives code description

The category “Contraceptives” includes various subcategories that help classify and categorize different types of contraceptives. Oral contraceptives, represented by the CPV code 33641410, refer to medications taken orally to prevent pregnancy. These contraceptives typically contain hormones that inhibit ovulation or thicken cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. On the other hand, chemical contraceptives, represented by the CPV code 33641420, encompass non-oral forms of contraception, such as contraceptive patches, injections, or implants. These methods often involve the use of chemicals or hormones to prevent pregnancy. By providing these subcategories, the classification system aims to simplify the procurement process and assist suppliers and contracting authorities in finding relevant notices related to contraceptives.
