Spermicide is a contraceptive substance that immobilizes or kills sperm before they enter the uterus. This is a spermicide suppository, an insert that dissolves after being placed in the vagina. Spermicide can be used alone or with a barrier method — such as a condom, diaphragm or cervical cap — to prevent pregnancy.
