Kimeganyiwa Majaribio ndani ya Panya na kuonesha Ufanisi kwa asilimia 99.
Majaribio ndani ya Binadamu yanatarajiwa kuanza mwishoni mwa Mwaka huu

A male contraceptive pill is on the horizon following the development of a birth control drug that’s 99 per cent effective in preventing pregnancy in mice.
team of researchers has, however, made a breakthrough in the long hunt for a male pill that was found to be 99 per cent effective in mice, with no observable side effects. The oral drug is expected to enter human trials by the year end.
The researchers say it’s a step forward in expanding male contraceptive options and bringing balance to the contraceptive burden on women. They presented their findings at the spring meeting of the American Chemical Society on Wednesday.
Lab experiments
“We still don’t have an approved pill for males in the market, but this alone is a clear sign that there is a likelihood of having many options for men,” said Dr Abdullah Al Noman.
He said several compounds were undergoing clinical trials, but the researchers targeted the male sex hormone testosterone, which could cause weight gain, depression and other side effects.
The symptoms are normally experienced by women while using the hormonal pill, but since they can easily become pregnant in the absence of contraception, the risk calculation differs.
