Dose of Nonoxynol-9 May Influence Spermicide Effectiveness

New findings from Family Health International and the National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development show that the amount of nonoxynol-9 (N-9)
in a vaginal spermicidal gel may influence how well it prevents pregnancy.
The form in which the N-9 is delivered, however, does not appear to have an
influence. Results of this clinical trial of more than 1,500 women at 14
sites throughout the United States are reported in the March 2004 issue of
Obstetrics and Gynecology. To read more, see
