Contraceptive pills: now also for men?

Perhaps very soon there will be birth control pills for men. University of Washington scientists presented at the annual conference of the Endocrine Society a report on the successful completion of the first phase of research on a new format contraceptive. The drug 11-beta-MNTDC is aimed at reducing the level of hormones that stimulate the production of sperm and testosterone. Also now, scientists are working on a new drug based on alpha-blockers. They have an interesting property - at the time of ejaculation, they contribute to the entry of part of the sperm into the bladder. Experts want to take advantage of this and create a new contraceptive for men.
