Description of Implanon

Implanon is used to prevent pregnancy in women. Implanon is a contraceptive belonging to the Progestin class of drugs. The generic name of Implanon is Etonogestrel. You can buy Implanon if you want to avoid a pregnancy. The medication is administered as an implant which is inserted below the skin of the upper arm.

Indications & Dosage of Implanon

Implanon is a contraceptive used by women. It is available in the form of a plastic rod that is implanted beneath the skin of the upper arm. Implanon consists of etonogestrel - a hormone responsible for preventing ovulation. Etonogestrel makes it difficult for sperm to get into the uterus by affecting the uterine lining and cervical mucus. It also prevents the fertilized eggs from sticking to the uterine wall. The Implanon rod, when inserted in the skin, releases the hormone which prevents a pregnancy. The drug remains effective for 3 years.

An adult woman is given a single implant of Implanon which will act as a contraceptive for 3 years.

Implanon should only be administered by a trained healthcare professional. The implant should be inserted within the first 5 days of the menstrual cycle. You should get the implant removed after 3 years. If you wish to discontinue using Implanon, you can ask your doctor to remove it before the 3 year timeframe.
