The World Is Demanding New Options for Male Birth Control.
We’re gathering the world’s most accomplished minds in contraception to develop a new male contraceptive method we’ve named Plan A™.
A GLOBAL NEED FOR MORE FAMILY PLANNING OPTIONS
The current options for contraception and family planning focus mostly on female fertility, burdening women with a majority of the responsibility for reproductive planning. Negative side effects and health risks associated with these options have also led almost half of all females in the US to discontinue their use.
Male birth control options have traditionally been limited to vasectomy, condoms, and withdrawal. The development of a non-hormonal, long-lasting, and reversible male birth control option would offer a greater choice of control for both individuals and couples when planning their future.
The mission of NEXT Life Sciences is to design and develop such a male birth control option, which we’ve named Plan A™.
