Featured Products
Trust and Sensation Condoms
Ethiopia was one of the first markets where DKT launched condoms (1990). We sold 3 million condoms in our first year, expanding sales and brand options over the years. In recent years, we’ve sold 27 million condoms per year including our flagship brand in the country, Sensation.
Choice and iPlan (OCs)
Choice pills are one of several oral contraceptives that DKT offers in the Ethiopian market. OCs remain one of the most accepted and popular forms of contraception in the world.
Longact (IUDs)
An intrauterine device (IUD) provides long-lasting protection from unintended pregnancies. IUDs must be inserted into the uterus by a healthcare provider and can offer up to 10 years of protection, depending on the specific type and brand.
Postpill
DKT launched emergency contraception in Ethiopia in 2007 and now sells hundreds of thousands of pills each year. We estimate that nearly 50% of EC imported into Africa is done by DKT.
