The first male contraceptive launches soon. It is a birth control method that involves an injection directly on the p*nises.
Recent reports reveal that the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has successfully completed a clinical trial of this male contraceptive. This government-funded biomedical research agency created this injectable medicine.
The birth control method, which lasts approximately 13 years, involves injecting a polymer into the vas deferens. Styrene-maleic anhydride is the name of the injection. It allegedly blocks sperm from leaving the testicles. A dose of local anaesthesia is administered first before the dose. This procedure will likely supplant a traditional vasectomy.
Professor S.K. Guha from the Indian Institute of Technology developed the polymer in the 1970s. ICMR has been researching on it to turn it into a product for mass use since 1984. The final product is finally ready after exhaustive trials.
“The product is ready, with only regulatory approvals pending, The trials are over, including extended, Phase 3 clinical trials for which 303 candidates were recruited with a 97.3% success rate and no reported side effects. The product can safely be called the world’s first male contraceptive” said, a senior scientist at the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
