Nexplanon is a hormone-releasing birth control implant for use by women to prevent pregnancy for up to 3 years. Nexplanon is a soft, flexible rod about the size of a matchstick that is inserted under the skin of a woman’s upper arm. It is a progestin-only method of birth control and does not contain any estrogen. Nexplanon is a long term contraception method and is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.
Nexplanon contains the active ingredient Etonogestrel, which is a progestin hormone. It is released continuously into the bloodstream from the implant. This hormone prevents pregnancy in a few different ways, the most important way is by preventing ovulation, or the release of an egg from the ovary. It also thins out the uterine lining and increases the thickness of the mucus in the cervix, making it more difficult for sperm to cross from the vagina into the womb. The implant must be changed every 3 years.
