A type of contraceptive, it is a drug that kills sperm ejaculated into the vagina or weakens their motility, making fertilization impossible. It contains surfactants such as polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether and menfegol, acids such as lactic acid as adjuvants, and astringents such as tannic acid and alum to coagulate sperm proteins and suppress their motility, and is available in cream (not sold in Japan), jelly, vaginal tablet (foaming tablet), and film form. It is usually inserted into the vagina before sexual intercourse, but creams and jellies can also be applied to condoms.
