Finally, male birth control is ready and rearing go. The Indian Council of Medical Research, a government-funded biomedical research agency, has successfully completed a clinical trial on an injectable male contraceptive. “ICMR has been researching on it to turn it into a product for mass use since 1984, and the final product is ready after exhaustive trials,” said the senior scientist with ICMR.
The scientist added, “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.” The birth control method, which lasts approximately 13 years, involves injecting a polymer, called styrene maleic anhydride, into the vas deferens, effectively blocking sperm from leaving the testicles. The shot is designed to supplant a traditional vasectomy, but because of pending regulatory approval, it “will still take about six to seven months … before the product can be manufactured”.
