Only women should solve this problem. For men, the responsibility is to the same extent. And if they used to say that women should use oral contraceptives, now this also exists for men. Tested tablet forms have proven their safety and effectiveness.
Revolutionary drug
Dimethandrolone betaundecanoate (DMAU) is a female contraceptive that has been around since the 1960s. Only men should take it. It contains a mixture of hormones, including androgens, testosterone and progestin, which suppress testosterone and sperm levels. Thanks to this, the chances of getting pregnant are sharply reduced.

Side effects
“DMAU is an important step in the development of a single daily ‘male pill.’ Many men say they prefer the daily pill as a reversible contraceptive.
While taking the pills, some men experienced a slight decrease in cholesterol levels and a slight increase in weight. All participants noted that they had healthy livers and kidneys and no side effects. After all, many drugs containing testosterone usually cause problems with the kidneys and liver.
It is also worth noting that this remedy does not cause further problems with conception. If a couple is ready to have a baby, simply stopping taking birth control pills will allow sperm to become active again and ready for fertilization.
