Availability of spermicide in Israel

August 19, 2016

Question

Hi. Can you please tell everyone what spermicides are available in Israel? Apparently you cannot get Glovan in pharmacies anymore.

Answer

Yes, Glovan is no longer available in Israel. However, Vaginal Contraceptive Film (VCF) is a more effective form of spermicide and is increasingly available. A list of pharmacies in Israel that carry VCF can be found at https://www.safevcf.co.il/wheretobuy.
