Male birth control pill in work: 100% Effective
Researchers hope to conduct human trials in the upcoming years after testing a fast-acting contraceptive medication on mice.
A study that will revolutionize birth control pills is taking place right now: Developing a contraceptive pill that works on men. It turns out that a drug invented for the treatment of eye diseases can be an effective method of contraception in men.
Male birth control pill in work: 100% Effective
In a new study published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature Communications, experiments on mice found that the drug immobilized sperm. The drug, which is said to temporarily paralyze sperm, was injected into male mice. The findings revealed that the drug prevented pregnancy by 100 percent for two and a half hours, and by about 91 percent at three and a half hours.
The researchers stated that full fertility returned 24 hours after administration of the drug.
"This is a real revolution in the field of male contraception," said Jochen Buck of Cornell University in the USA. There are only two options for male contraception: vasectomy and condom. Although there are many more options for women, it is known that birth control pills, for example, have many side effects. These include bleeding between menstrual periods, nausea, and decreased sexual desire.
