Hello,
The VCF contraceptive films contain spermicide gel, nonoxynol 9. The film dissolves itself into body fluids.
It is about 94% effective in preventing pregnancy.
Generally safe. Some women can experience an allergic reaction to the spermicide gel.
Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you need further clarification
