Male birth control which will be injected into penises is almost ready

The male birth control injection is almost ready.

The Indian Council of Medical Research, a government-funded biomedical research agency, has successfully completed a clinical trial on an injectable male contraceptive, according to Hindustan Times. And injectable is directly into the penis.

Dr. R.S. Sharma, senior scientist with ICMR, told the local news outlet:

The product is ready, with only regulatory approvals pending. The trials are over, including extended, Phase 3 clinical trials for which 303 candidates were recruited with a 97.3% success rate and no reported side effects. The product can safely be called the world’s first male contraceptive.

The method lasts 13 years and blocks sperm from leaving the testicles.

Gents, would you use this? And don’t worry. They do apply a local anaesthetic for the pain before injection.
