Implanon Nxt Subdermal Contraceptive Implant 68 Mg

Implanon NXT is a contraceptive implant inserted into the arm to prevent pregnancy for up to three years, with fertility restored immediately upon removal after its duration ends.

What is Implanon?

Implanon NXT is a contraceptive implant preloaded in an applicator. It contains 68 mg of etonogestrel, a synthetic female hormone similar to progesterone, which is continuously released into the bloodstream in small amounts over three years to prevent pregnancy.

The implant also contains barium sulfate, making it visible under X-ray imaging.

Uses of Implanon NXT

Implanon NXT is used for contraception. It prevents pregnancy by:

• Suppressing ovulation (preventing the ovaries from releasing eggs).

• Altering cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus.

Advantages of Implanon NXT

• Highly effective: Approximately 99% efficacy in preventing pregnancy.

• Does not interfere with sexual activity.

• Fertility is quickly restored upon removal.

• No need to worry about daily oral contraceptive pills; the implant lasts for three years.

How to Use Implanon NXT?

• A healthcare professional administers a local anesthetic before inserting the implant.

• Implanon is inserted just beneath the skin on the inner side of the non-dominant arm (typically the left arm).

• The procedure is generally painless due to the local anesthetic.

• The implant should be palpable by both the physician and the user, allowing you to feel its ends with your fingers.

• If not replacing another contraceptive method, the ideal time for insertion is between days 1-5 of a natural menstrual cycle.

• If inserted after the fifth day of the cycle, an additional contraceptive method (e.g., condoms) should be used for the next seven days.
