Add this to the list of new male birth controls being developed: the gel. A contraceptive gel that men can rub on their shoulders once a day is safe, effective and starts working more quickly than other methods, according to new research from the trial. It uses hormones to lower sperm count, keeping levels at a point where they don’t affect sex drive or cause other side effects. The trial initially launched in 2018 and has shown promising results; but there is currently no money for stage three trials to get the drug authorised. A gynaecologist involved has said a major pharmaceutical company would need to fund it. #iud #coil #malebirthcontrol #plana #adam #gel #malebirthcontrolgel #testosterone #hormones #birthcontrol #contraception
