Finally scientists have developed the solution to every girl's problem - the male contraceptive pill.

Scientists have developed a birth control pill made from an Indonesian shrub that claims to be 99 per cent effective.

The pill, which originally comes from the gendarussa plant weakens enzymes in sperm so a woman can't become pregnant from it.

The shrub that the small tablet is made from, has already been used for years used by tribesmen on the island of Papua to prevent their wives from conceiving.

The men would boil the plant in tea and use it as birth control to prevent conception.

The drug was developed by Professor Prajogo or Airlangga University after he heard rumours of its outstanding, successful effects.

Professor Prajogo has carried out 30 years of research, isolating the active ingredient, putting it into a tablet form, and carrying out clinical trials to prove its contraceptive effects.

He is currently working on the dosage and thinks he will be able create a pill men can take just one hour before having sex.

He conducted a few small, clinical trials on 350 men and found it to be effective 99 per cent of the time.

It was also found that male fertility would return back to normal within a month of taking the pill.

The only side effect experienced by some men was weight gain whilst on the pill and at least one participant saw an increase in two enzymes that indicate poor heart or liver functioning, although it was unclear whether this was due to the pill or another health issue.

But overall, researchers found no obvious side effects, and certainly none that rival those associated with female hormone-based contraceptive pills.
