Everything we know about the new male contraceptive pill including when it's available
Human trials for a new male contraceptive pill are set to begin later this year.The pills have already been tested on mice, and the studies found that they were 99% effective in preventing pregnancies. Crucially, this could mean that in the near future men could be taking more responsibility over birth control – especially as it's hoped that the new pill won't trigger the same side effects as the current oral contraceptives prescribed for women (more on that later!).
