Male contraceptive '100% effective' Part of the treatment is given by injectionScientists have developed a male contraceptive which was 100% effective and side-effect free in trials. The hormonal treatment is a combination of an implant under the skin and injections - meaning men do not have to remember to take a pill every day.
The treatment is a combination of an implant containing the male sex hormone testosterone, which was replaced every four months, and a three-monthly injection of a progestin, a hormone used in female contraceptive pills. The reversible treatment works by making use of the body's own natural system which is involved in initiating puberty. The combination of the two hormones temporarily turns off the normal signals from the brain that stimulate sperm production. But the process also turns off the man's own testosterone production - so he needs to be given extra doses of the hormone to keep him healthy and maintain his sex drive.
