Male birth control pill found to be 99% effective in mice | Rush Hour

A male birth control pill under development has been found to be 99% effective in mice, researchers say. With limited options for male birth control at present, a pill for men could mean a huge step forward for couples looking for alternative family planning methods. The non-hormonal pill is expected to go into human clinical trials this year but with many more steps in the process, it could be years before the pill hits pharmacy shelves.

It’s crazy imagining a man remembering to take his birth control every day.

I see a new commercial coming soon…”did you or your loved one get sterilized or die by the male bc pill? If so, you may be entitled to compensation.” 😂

I can hardly get my husband to remember to take out the trash when I literally leave it at the front door. Male birth control is the worst idea ever 🤣🤣🤣
