Spermicide is used as a type of birth control that kills sperm. Spermicide is often used in conjunction with a barrier method such as a condom or diaphragm.
Spermicide can come in a range of topical forms, including cream, foam, gel, and suppository. Some types of condoms contain spermicide for extra protection against preventing pregnancy.
Spermicide does not prevent sexually transmitted diseases on its own.
