At the moment, only women can use the pill for contraception. But, the men pill is coming! It is developed at this very moment...
Stop sperm production
American researchers of the Columbia University Medical Center researched the men pill. They found out that there is a substance in mice, which leads to reversible fertility. They tested a pill with mice and found out that it stopped the mice’s production of sperm. This medicine didn’t have any nasty side effects.
Change of libido?
The most important discovery was that the fertility of the mice came back, after the medication was stopped. This is crucial for contraception. There is still a lot of research to be done before the pill for men will become a fact. It will take several years.
