A contraceptive injection for men that lasts 10 years

Al-Marsad Newspaper: Scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology have revealed that the contraceptive injection that lasts ten years may soon be available for men.

The syringe – Risug – can be ready within 12 months. It was developed by researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology and has completed its final experiments, according to the Daily Mail.

Dr Amanda Wilson, a public health psychologist at De Montfort University, told the British Science Festival in Leicester that research found men were very reluctant to receive the injection. For the male contraceptive pill, she said, we’re still looking at 30 to 50, but Risug is the closest contraceptive to the market. However, we are seeing a significant reduction in vasectomy.

“Scientists don’t know why,” he added, “but until we have this social acceptance of vasectomy globally, there won’t be as much social acceptance of Risug.”

Risug is a gel that destroys the tails of individual sperms, preventing them from fertilizing an egg.
