New drug for male infertility

Trials have been carried out in Australia of a new drug for male infertility called Menevit, which researchers believe can help men who have abnormal sperm.

The drug is an anti-oxidant, and works on the theory that sperm are often damaged by free radicals and that taking an anti-oxidant can help. Initial trials showed an increased pregnancy rate when the drug was used for male factor problems, but more clinical trials will be carried out before the drug becomes widely available.

The drug has been developed by Repromed, and you can find details on their website
