Male Contraceptive Pill

Unlike the female pill, YCT-529 is hormone-free and prevents sperm production by blocking access to vitamin A.

Men have two practical choices for contraception; the condom which has a high typical use failure rate or vasectomy. But now, a new method of male contraception has been developed which will significantly reduce the mobility of sperms, without affecting hormones.

Researchers have found an experimental oral contraceptive to be safe in men with hormone responses consistent with effective contraception.

In a major step forward in the development of a once-daily "male pill", researchers have found an experimental oral contraceptive to be safe in men with hormone responses consistent with effective contraception.

Researchers from the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center report that men given a hormone-based contraceptive can regain their fertility about four months after stopping the treatment. This kind of contraception could be available in the near future.

The first trial of a male contraceptive in sexually active couples has shown it was 100 per cent effective in preventing pregnancies. The hormonal treatment - a combination of an implant under the skin and a three-monthly injection - was used by 55 couples for one year. The method relieved the men of the need to remember to take a daily pill - and ...
