Abstract:

"Cellulose sulphate gel appears to be "an effective vaginal contraceptive without many side effects," Dr Christine K. Mauck. In a preliminary study, Mauck and colleagues found that cellulose sulphate vaginal gel performed as well as nonoxynol-9. With time and further research, this vaginal contraceptive may become an alternative to the nonoxynol-9 based contraceptive gels currently available in the US, they suggest.
