  20. What You Need to Know About Nonoxynol-9 • N-9 is the active ingredient in all of the over-the-counter (OTC) spermicidal products available in the U.S. and has been used for pregnancy prevention since the 1950s. An Advisory Review Panel of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has deemed N-9 a safe and effective contraceptive.

  21. N-9 • Mechanism of Action • N-9 is the active ingredient in all OTC spermicidal products in the U.S. N-9 is a chemical detergent that damages sperm cell membranes, killing the cells. • N-9 is marketed and sold as a spermicidal contraceptive product in several different formulations, including: • - Suppositories - Foam - Film - Gel - Cream

  22. N-9 USE • Diaphragms and cervical caps are FDA approved for use in conjunction with spermicidal gels and creams. Also, some condoms include a spermicidal lubricant.

  23. N-9 USE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM WHO & CDC • N-9 can be used as a contraceptive, alone or in combination with a cervical barrier method, and among women at low risk of HIV/STI infection (Use the product no more than once daily.) • N-9 should not be used for the purpose of HIV/STI prevention. • N-9 should not be used for contraception by women at high risk of HIV infection.

  24. N-9 USE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM WHO & CDC • Condoms with N-9 should not be promoted for disease prevention. (However, it is better to use N-9-lubricated condoms than no condoms at all.) • N-9 should not be used rectally.
