Abstract: | Marked reduction of sperm count occurred in eight fertile men bearing subdermal Silastic capsules containing testosterone who received 50 mg of either norgestrienone or R 2323 twice weekly per OS. Four other men also bearing testosterone implants who received an equivalent dose of norethindrone have not shown a similar drop in sperm count. None of the patients who received either norgestrienone or R 2323 reported loss of libido or potency. These results suggest one of these nor-steroids may be used for a male contraceptive pill. |
