A member asked:

I was looking at spermicides and i found 1 called contragel green contraceptive gel and 1 person said they got pregnant id like to know how good it is

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Use with caution: ContraGel has been approved for use by the European Union with their issuance of the CE 0124 mark. This is a contraceptive gel mainly used in Europe. It is not FDA approved in USA. It is used with a cervical cap or diaphragm. It is NOT to be used alone. I would not rely on to protect you form pregnancy. It is popular because it is GREEN and does not contain non oxynol 9.
