Revolutionary Male Birth Control
Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have developed a non-hormonal male contraceptive temporarily immobilizes sperm, taking effect within 30–60 minutes of oral ingestion and lasting for 2.5 hours. The drug's efficacy
drops after 3 hours, with fertility returning to normal the following day. This fast-acting contraceptive could enable men to share responsibility with women for birth control, especially in times of high demand for morning-after pills and abortion restrictions in the US.
