New research has found that a single dose temporary male contraceptive is showing success in mice.

By temporarily immobilizing mice sperm it was found to be 100 percent effective in preventing pregnancy after two hours and 91 percent affective after the first three.

After 24 hours, the mice were returning to normal fertility levels without any negative effects.

Study lead Dr. Melanie Balbach joined Mike Hosking.
