I am an incoming pharmacy student (P1) at USC. I have been bored lately so I picked up The molecular interventions april 2007 volume 7 issue 2 journal. I was reading about all the research bring conducted on male contraceptive. My question is which drugs are currently offered to men as a form of contraceptive. In this journal scientist were trying to figure out why 10 % of men are not receptive to male contraceptive(not condoms). They current method of contraceptive according too the article, said that men are given testosterone and this inhibits the LH and FSH hormone which in turn prevent signals from being release in th pituatary glabd t o prodece sperm. This method is hormonal based. I was just curious how can we get at least 98.5 of guys to respond well too male contraceptives?:idea:
