NURSING ADVISORY!!!
The topic of Nonoxynol-9 came up in my nursing discussion tonight and this chemical is scary!!! It is a spermicide found in condoms and lubricants. I know many of you are monogamous and condom-free but many of your friends may be using these condoms not knowing they are being exposed to this scary chemical.
After all, what the heck is nonoxynol-9 anyway?
Nonoxynol -9 supporters love it because it helps prevent pregnancy if a condom fails. But, some women and men have an allergy to this chemical causing itching, rash, infections, blistering, and sometimes as severe as anaphylactic shock!
If you choose to use these condoms, you can only use them once a day and you should know the risk! Consider your self educated! Read up!
Trojan has four different ones on the market now as do other brands...so be careful!!!
Spread the word to your friends!!!
