For the first time, a safe, effective and reversible hormonal male contraceptive appears to be within reach. Several formulations are expected to become commercially available within the near future. Men may soon have the options of a daily pill to be taken orally, a patch or gel to be applied to the skin, an injection given every three months or an implant placed under the skin every 12 months, according to Seattle researchers.
“It largely depends on how funding continues. The technology is there. We know how it would work,” says Dr. Andrea Coviello, who is helping to test several male contraceptives at the Population Center for Research in Reproduction at the University of Washington in Seattle.

The only birth control options currently out for males are condoms or 'the snip'. If they ever came out with the pill, it'd sell like hotcakes.
But I don't think you could buy it prescription unless you were a man, same as men can't buy prescription women's b/c.

Currently there is not. The FDA is currently testing it and we should see it on the market in around 5 years. Until then women are stuck taking it all the time.
