Birth Control for women changed the way we've lived since the early 1970s. Birth Control for men is just around the corner and it has no side effects. So far.
If fertility drugs are Viagra and Cialis, what will they call this pill?While many men might be reluctant to take out the trash or ask for directions if they are lost, recent studies have shown that about 70 percent of men would be willing to take a birth control pill if it were available.
One drawback to many female contraceptives is that they sometimes interfere with hormones, especially estrogen. But Li says the team is confident that JQ1 does not affect testosterone levels in men, and appears to have no other side effects as well.
As with many discoveries, the JQ1 compound appears to have come about by accident.
It was originally used for anti-cancer treatments, but researchers found it was also an excellent compound in controlling fertility.
