A male contraceptive pill could be tested in humans in just two months, scientists say — after it showed promise in trials on mice.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota, who invented the drug, say it could enter clinical trials as early as this July.
The non-hormonal pill, medically named YCT529, blocked 99 per cent of pregnancies in mice during tests — putting it on a par with the female birth control medication.
It also did not trigger any visible side-effects, such as weight gain, and male mice were able to father pups four to six weeks after administration was stopped.
Dr Gunda Georg, a chemist at the Minneapolis-based school, revealed to Vice that the drug could enter human trials in 'the second half of this year'.
She said the previous trials showed it had the 'desired effect' in mice, while also ensuring they remain 'viable and healthy'
'Of course, you have to be careful with this analysis because they are mice and not humans, but nevertheless the effect was very, very promising,' he said.
YourChoice Therapeutics — the manufacturer which says it aims to 'revolutionize' contraception — will apply to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for permission to begin the trials.
The number of participants being recruited and their ages were not revealed.
Scientists have been trying since the 1950s to develop an effective male oral contraceptive, including pills, gels and injections.

“Male contraceptive pill could enter human trials in just two months, inventors say, after study on mice showed it could prevent 99% of pregnancies”
so, are mice contraceptives covered by insurance? ... asking for a friend ...
“Sure baby, I’m on the pill....”
Well it might work almost 100% of the time in that case. If I were being paid to do the trials I might even realize this
