Dear 40dicky40,

That's not a good idea. Birth control pills are only available by prescription, and prescription medications should only be taken by the person for whom they were prescribed.

The hormones in birth control for women will not provide contraception for men. A birth control pill especially designed for men is still in the making. For more info about the future of contraceptives designed for men, check out Future Birth Control Methods for Men.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
