New male treatment to prevent
pregnancy
SYDNEY - Australian scientists have announced a breakthrough in the
development of an effective, hormone-based contraceptive for
men.
A team led by Mr David Handelsman of the Anzac Research Institute
in Sydney said his team has successfully experimented with the use
of two hormones to suppress sperm production.
Mr Handelsman and Mr Rob McLachlan of Prince Henry's Institute in
Melbourne tested the treatment on 55 couples and over the course of
a year, no pregnancies occurred.
The treatment involved inserting
testosterone pellets under the skin on the men's abdomens every
four months and combining this with quarterly shots of progestin, a
hormone used in female contraceptive pills.
Mr Handelsman said the final
product would be a single injection for men on a three- to
four-month basis, but he could not predict if or
when the contraceptive would be commercialised.
He added that drug companies had expressed doubts that men would
use an injected contraceptive. -- AFP
