Spermicides

A spermicide is a birth control medicine that kills sperm. It comes in many forms available at drug stores, and should contain directions for proper use. It is best used in conjunction with another birth control method, such as a diaphragm. It may cause some skin irritation. It does not prevent sexually transmitted infections.
