PIP: 30 fertile couples volunteered to test a new spermicidal vaginal cream. The cream, an association of oxyguinoline sulphate, copper sulphate, and lactic acid, was applied before and during intercourse. Postcoital tests were done with material taken from the posterior fornix and from the cervical mucus to investigate the presence and motility of spermatozoa. No mobile forms were found, while preceding spermiograms had evaluated that count, motility, and morphology of the partners' spermatozoa were perfectly normal. From these results it can be stated that the drug can be a valid alternative to oral or intrauterine contraception, being safe, easy, cheap, and without side effects.
