Does anyone know when it's going to be available? I heard 2005 but wondered if anyone knew for sure.

Hi sweet pea,

I don't think even the developers know for sure, assuming it really works with no serious side effects, like turning the guy red if he consumes alcohol! There are so many criteria to meet for the FDA to permit sale of a new drug in the U.S. that clinical trials can take years and years. It will be a welcome addition to the other contraceptive choices whenever it comes on the market.

Thanks for posting.
