A form of birth control using various substances contraceptive foams, creams, jellies, gels, and suppositories containing ingredients designed to kill sperm, such as nonoxynol-9 or octoxynol. When used alone, spermicides have a fairly low effectiveness rate as contraceptives, estimated at around 70 to 80 percent by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The spermicide needs to be placed in the woman\u2019s vagina no more than an hour before intercourse, forming both a physical and chemical barrier to sperm, and it must be left in place (that is, not douched) for at least six hours after intercourse. Spermicides can cause allergic reactions in the woman or her sex partner. They are also alleged to cause birth defects if continued in use after a woman is pregnant (though she may not know it). In one such case, a woman brought a court suit against a spermicide manufacturer for birth defects in her child. The FDA noted: \u201cAlthough the judge found in favor of the woman and her child, FDA has not found scientific data to sup\u00ac port an association between spermicides and birth defects. The agency continues to monitor the situation.\u201d If you are considering use of spermicides, you may want to contact the FDA and your doctor or clinic for the most current information. On the plus side, spermicides do somewhat reduce the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, though they Should not be considered any protection against aids.<\/p>\n
