A Safe Birth Control Pill For Men Is Closer To Reality

Soon male birth control could come in an easy to swallow pill.
Researchers at the University of Washington are testing a pill that men would take once a day.
The pill affects hormones like testosterone and causes men’s bodies to make less sperm.
Guys who tested out the pill didn’t see any big changes to their sexual performance, but their cholesterol went up slightly.
The biggest side effect is something women on birth control also deal with — weight gain.
All the men who took the pill gained 1 to 3 pounds.

Researchers are planning more studies to test the long-term effects of taking this pill.
It could be several years before its approved for market.
