in the past I've used "non-hormonal method", i.e. condoms, abstention etc.
However, have just found an official Summary of Product Characteristics that translates it as "barrier method". I'm unsure of whether or not to adopt this myself.
In my mind, "barrier method" is not exactly what is being implied by the German.
All input is appreciated.

Non-hormonal methods of contraception
You're right. Non-hormonal methods of contraception does exist (and I personally agree that it doesn't have the same exact connotation as "barrier method")

non-hormonal method
I would stick to what you have normally used. One does indeed speak of barrier methods, buy a spermicidal cream can also be used as a contraceptive. Coitus interuptus is also a method of contraception!

: Except that coitus interruptus not only spoils the fun, it also doesn't work very well.
